Speaker 1 (00:00):
We got a question from American mama's. Dear mama's, what's
your take on Lindsey Clancy's trial. Well, let's ask our
American mama's she said, and joining us now are American
(00:21):
mama Terry Netderville. I haven't been following it super closely.
I've had a couple of conversations actually with it with
my daughter about this trial. She's been following it much
more closely than I have. Have you been following Lindsay
Clancy trial. She's on a trial for murder for murdering
your two kids? Three yeah, three kids, excuse me? And
I mean the pictures of her in the courtroom are
(00:42):
just they're kind of heartbreaking. You look at her. She
looks like a broken woman.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
She's broken. Yeah, she has broken.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
You know.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
It's so funny because Kevin hasn't followed this at all.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
So he actually asked me the other morning, he said,
what is the deal? Why are women supporting this this
mom that killed her three children? And they apparently they
have raised a million dollars for her and it gofund me.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
He said, it is disgusting. Do you understand why?
Speaker 3 (01:07):
And I said, I said, here's what I'll tell you.
I said, have you followed it at all? And he
was like, no, not really. I said, well, let me
just tell you why she's got so much empathy. But
then I'm going to tell you why. I don't really
as much like I think she deserves to go to
jail for what she did, but I do feel very
sorry for her.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
She's broken, she's devastated.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
It is possible to hold both of those thoughts at
the same That's right. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
The problem is and the reason why, as I told Kevin,
there's so much empathy for her, is because the medical
community did let her down.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
If you read the notes, if.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
You are read the notes that was given to the jury,
I don't know if it's even a jury draw at
the notes that were written about that. She wrote about
her children. She adored every single one of them. She
wanted to be the perfect mother to all of them.
She was devastated that she wasn't able to give her
a little boy, her third baby, the attention she was
able to give her her first book.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
She was with postpartument depression. Yes, after the third is
certainly after the third delivery.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
But here's here's where it gets weird.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
She would tell the doctor who was one month outside
of residency. Okay, and it was by zoom. She told
her she wanted to kill her children. She told her
she had feelings of wanting to kill herself. She told
her she didn't know how she could handle her parents.
You know, for months, even her parents came in to
help the kids, because she would tell her husband, look,
I'm not well, I'm not sleeping, I have these terrible
(02:30):
thoughts that I want to kill my children. They had
her on all kinds of medicine, and then the husband
comes in and he's on her side at the child.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
But he's now remarried. He divorced her, he's remarried.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Got remarried within three years, right of the murders. Yeah, yeah,
that was one of the things that bothered my daughter Julia.
She was like that. So that throws up a red
flag for her.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
I don't, I don't. I can maybe see that. Guys
do not do well alone. They just they just don't.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
They don't.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
So I don't know that's necessarily a sign of favor.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I don't know if you know this part, but she did.
She jumped out of her window after she killed her children. Yes,
she jumped out of the window and became paralyzed, and
some people are suggesting other theories.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
That's another thing that comes to mind here is that
when you look at the case, the three children were strangled. Right,
statistically speaking, that's not a normal way for mothers to
kill their children. That you'll see mother's drowning children. You'll
see you know, you're driving, remember the nineteen nineties, lady
drove into the lake. Right, Yeah, you'll see poisoning. Right,
(03:34):
They'll you grind up into drinks, they'll do poisons like that. Normally,
strangling is more of a way that men would kill
their own children rather than women.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
That you say that because Lisa Renna, she's like the
Real Housewives of.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Beverly Hills, right actress as well.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
She was on social media and she said that her
therapist thinks that the husband did it. For that reason,
she said, women don't strangle their children. She thinks the
husband had something to do with it, the therapist. So
she came online and told everybody Patrick did it.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
And statistically speaking, women when they go to commit suicide
usually don't throw themselves out of a second story window.
What they'll they'll take pills, they'll you know, you have
other you know, cutting, you'll have other things like that.
But when you look at what is the normal mechanism
for a woman to commit suicide, it's it's not to
throw herself out a second story window, because oftentimes that
(04:27):
just means pain, not yeah, not death. And so those
those are things that people I think are looking at
and they create their own conspiracy theory about it.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
But here's where, here's why I lose a little bit
of of I have some incredible empathy for her, But
here's where I'm confused. Okay, she told her husband to
go get some food for the family, and she told
them to go to her restaurant that was like twenty
minutes away or somewhere far away from the house to
give her time to kill her children. I don't know,
(04:59):
I mean, I don't know how detectives do this. But
wouldn't there be away if Patrick did it? Yeah, wouldn't
there be a way for them to look and see
where his phone was at a certain time? Or wouldn't
she say my husband did this.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Yeah, that's that's one of those things that you know,
wouldn't she say it? And then also the forensic evidence
of the strangling that I mean there would be there
would be you know, bruising and things like that. They
would probably lead lead to some evidence there. So right,
you've got all these these theories online, but they don't
necessarily match the evidences presented in court. Yeah, so, what's
(05:34):
bone crushing you said.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
What's bone crushing to me is when you when she
you watch her in court, she's devastated when they start
talking about her children.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
She's like, I can't, I can't.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
She's bawling to know that she has done this to
her children and now is aware that she actually did this.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
It is absolutely bone crushing, devastating.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
