The Lindsay Clancy army, from mums in pink to right-wing podcasters
In some corners of TikTok and Instagram, where charitable feeling for a mother on trial for murdering her children is at a high pitch, unhinged conspiracy theories abound.
Jurors in the Lindsay Clancy trial have begun deliberations after closing arguments from the prosecution and defense. Clancy is accused of murdering her three children on January 24, 2023.
Supporters of Clancy have taken to social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram to express their sympathy for her. Some have shared conspiracy theories surrounding her case. A group of women from different generations and parts of the US have also shown their solidarity with Clancy, describing her as a victim of a medical system that failed to treat her properly. They are calling for the jury to find her not responsible for the tragedy and for her to receive psychiatric treatment instead of a prison sentence.
The trial is ongoing, with jurors set to determine Clancy's responsibility for her actions.
