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.
Lindsay Clancy, a nurse, is on trial for murdering her three children on January 24, 2023. Some people on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram have expressed sympathy for her, with conspiracy theories emerging.
Supporters, including some women who identify as mothers, have rallied around Clancy, suggesting she was a victim of a medical system that failed her. They argue she should be sent to a psychiatric facility rather than prison.
Jurors have begun deliberations after hearing closing arguments from the prosecution and defense. The trial is ongoing, with the jury tasked with determining Clancy's responsibility for her actions.
