Not having been in the courtroom for the Clancy trial or seen what evidence was presented, I'm not going to judge. Remember, the crux of the case seemed to be not whether or not she had done it, but rather whether or not she met the definition of insanity.
Pretty sure her own psychiatrist said she wasn't insane when they last met.
Again, I don't know what evidence was presented in court.
Quote:
Even though she was still struggling with depression, Clancy denied she was having suicidal or homicidal thoughts during her psychiatric appointment the day before the killings, according to Tufts.
Clancy did say however that "she had to force herself out of bed and to get out of the house," Tufts testified.
They discussed changing medication yet again during the meeting and that the psychiatrist felt Clancy couldn't accept that she was depressed and kept blaming how she felt on the pills, Tufts said.
Clancy was appropriately dressed, communicated appropriately and had "no deficits" during the virtual appointment, the psychiatrist said.
There was no sign of psychosis and Tufts had no reason to seek an involuntary commitment, she said.

The whole things smells IMO
And I'm guessing this would have been presented by the prosecution at trial. What did the defense offer up in response? I don't know, because I wasn't at the trial.
11 jurors wanted to vote one way and 1 guy wanted to vote the other way and a whole lot of people have decided that the 1 guy must have been right despite not being privy to all the same information those people got to see. I'm just saying, let's pump the brakes here.
I am with you about not being there. But in this case we do know some facts around her diagnosis. She was treated by at least 5 psychiatrist and/at 2 hospitals. No treating doctor ever diagnosed her with psychosis, including the psychiatrist that saw her the day before the murders. They all diagnosed her with depression and anxiety. 1 prosecution witness/doctor diagnosed her with Bipoloar Disorder 2. The only 3 people to diagnose her with psychosis are the 3 defense witness/doctors who worked off the treating doctor's notes / charts and post murder sessions.
Of note:
- Her psychosis never presented before or after the murders, just those key 18 minutes <LC supporter argue the medical system failed her, she was on numerous meds and PPP symptoms come and go; that the act of murdering your own babies is so extreme she must have been psychotic>
- Those 18 minutes were interrupted for 14 seconds with a phone call with Patrick. That demonstrates control, which is contrary to psychosis, and raises questions about the validity of the Control Commands...why did they stop for the call? <LC supporters generally argue that we don't know she really had the phone conversation; Patrick says there was a conversation and he probably started the call from her watch as part of him framing her>
- If she was PPP it happened 8 months after child birth. PPP usually happens @2 weeks after childbirth because it is brought on hormone changes related to child birth. <LC supporters argue it is possible for PPP to happen at 8 months and men don't understand about women's health so they shouldn't get to comment>
