  "account": "Actress Lisa Rinna weighed in on the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, claiming that Patrick Clancy is the killer of their three children. In a TikTok video, Rinna stated that she and her therapist both believed Patrick was responsible for the January 2023 deaths of Cora, Dawson, and Callan. Rinna mentioned that she had heard from her therapist that \"women, typically, don’t strangle,\" and she agreed with the assessment. However, it's important to note that Rinna's comments are her personal opinion and are not backed by any evidence presented in court. The trial is ongoing, and the defense argues that Lindsay Clancy should not be held criminally responsible for the deaths, citing her severe mental illness, including postpartum psychosis.",
