Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We got a question from American mama's. Dear mama's, what's
- 0:02Speaker 1: your take on Lindsey Clancy's trial. Well, let's ask our
- 0:05Speaker 1: American mama's she said, and joining us now are American
- 0:21Speaker 1: mama Terry Netderville. I haven't been following it super closely.
- 0:25Speaker 1: I've had a couple of conversations actually with it with
- 0:28Speaker 1: my daughter about this trial. She's been following it much
- 0:30Speaker 1: more closely than I have. Have you been following Lindsay
- 0:32Speaker 1: Clancy trial. She's on a trial for murder for murdering
- 0:34Speaker 1: your two kids? Three yeah, three kids, excuse me? And
- 0:39Speaker 1: I mean the pictures of her in the courtroom are
- 0:42Speaker 1: just they're kind of heartbreaking. You look at her. She
- 0:43Speaker 1: looks like a broken woman.
- 0:44Speaker 2: She's broken. Yeah, she has broken.
- 0:46Speaker 3: You know.
- 0:46Speaker 2: It's so funny because Kevin hasn't followed this at all.
- 0:49Speaker 3: So he actually asked me the other morning, he said,
- 0:53Speaker 3: what is the deal? Why are women supporting this this
- 0:57Speaker 3: mom that killed her three children? And they apparently they
- 1:00Speaker 3: have raised a million dollars for her and it gofund me.
- 1:04Speaker 2: He said, it is disgusting. Do you understand why?
- 1:07Speaker 3: And I said, I said, here's what I'll tell you.
- 1:09Speaker 3: I said, have you followed it at all? And he
- 1:11Speaker 3: was like, no, not really. I said, well, let me
- 1:13Speaker 3: just tell you why she's got so much empathy. But
- 1:15Speaker 3: then I'm going to tell you why. I don't really
- 1:18Speaker 3: as much like I think she deserves to go to
- 1:20Speaker 3: jail for what she did, but I do feel very
- 1:22Speaker 3: sorry for her.
- 1:23Speaker 2: She's broken, she's devastated.
- 1:25Speaker 1: It is possible to hold both of those thoughts at
- 1:27Speaker 1: the same That's right. Yeah.
- 1:29Speaker 3: The problem is and the reason why, as I told Kevin,
- 1:32Speaker 3: there's so much empathy for her, is because the medical
- 1:36Speaker 3: community did let her down.
- 1:38Speaker 2: If you read the notes, if.
- 1:40Speaker 3: You are read the notes that was given to the jury,
- 1:45Speaker 3: I don't know if it's even a jury draw at
- 1:47Speaker 3: the notes that were written about that. She wrote about
- 1:49Speaker 3: her children. She adored every single one of them. She
- 1:51Speaker 3: wanted to be the perfect mother to all of them.
- 1:53Speaker 3: She was devastated that she wasn't able to give her
- 1:55Speaker 3: a little boy, her third baby, the attention she was
- 1:57Speaker 3: able to give her her first book.
- 1:59Speaker 1: She was with postpartument depression. Yes, after the third is
- 2:02Speaker 1: certainly after the third delivery.
- 2:04Speaker 2: But here's here's where it gets weird.
- 2:07Speaker 3: She would tell the doctor who was one month outside
- 2:11Speaker 3: of residency. Okay, and it was by zoom. She told
- 2:14Speaker 3: her she wanted to kill her children. She told her
- 2:17Speaker 3: she had feelings of wanting to kill herself. She told
- 2:19Speaker 3: her she didn't know how she could handle her parents.
- 2:21Speaker 3: You know, for months, even her parents came in to
- 2:23Speaker 3: help the kids, because she would tell her husband, look,
- 2:27Speaker 3: I'm not well, I'm not sleeping, I have these terrible
- 2:30Speaker 3: thoughts that I want to kill my children. They had
- 2:32Speaker 3: her on all kinds of medicine, and then the husband
- 2:37Speaker 3: comes in and he's on her side at the child.
- 2:40Speaker 2: But he's now remarried. He divorced her, he's remarried.
- 2:43Speaker 1: Got remarried within three years, right of the murders. Yeah, yeah,
- 2:47Speaker 1: that was one of the things that bothered my daughter Julia.
- 2:50Speaker 1: She was like that. So that throws up a red
- 2:53Speaker 1: flag for her.
- 2:54Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:54Speaker 1: I don't, I don't. I can maybe see that. Guys
- 2:56Speaker 1: do not do well alone. They just they just don't.
- 2:59Speaker 2: They don't.
- 3:00Speaker 1: So I don't know that's necessarily a sign of favor.
- 3:02Speaker 3: I don't know if you know this part, but she did.
- 3:04Speaker 3: She jumped out of her window after she killed her children. Yes,
- 3:06Speaker 3: she jumped out of the window and became paralyzed, and
- 3:10Speaker 3: some people are suggesting other theories.
- 3:13Speaker 1: That's another thing that comes to mind here is that
- 3:16Speaker 1: when you look at the case, the three children were strangled. Right,
- 3:20Speaker 1: statistically speaking, that's not a normal way for mothers to
- 3:23Speaker 1: kill their children. That you'll see mother's drowning children. You'll
- 3:27Speaker 1: see you know, you're driving, remember the nineteen nineties, lady
- 3:30Speaker 1: drove into the lake. Right, Yeah, you'll see poisoning. Right,
- 3:34Speaker 1: They'll you grind up into drinks, they'll do poisons like that. Normally,
- 3:39Speaker 1: strangling is more of a way that men would kill
- 3:42Speaker 1: their own children rather than women.
- 3:43Speaker 3: That you say that because Lisa Renna, she's like the
- 3:46Speaker 3: Real Housewives of.
- 3:47Speaker 1: Beverly Hills, right actress as well.
- 3:49Speaker 3: She was on social media and she said that her
- 3:51Speaker 3: therapist thinks that the husband did it. For that reason,
- 3:55Speaker 3: she said, women don't strangle their children. She thinks the
- 3:59Speaker 3: husband had something to do with it, the therapist. So
- 4:01Speaker 3: she came online and told everybody Patrick did it.
- 4:04Speaker 1: And statistically speaking, women when they go to commit suicide
- 4:08Speaker 1: usually don't throw themselves out of a second story window.
- 4:11Speaker 1: What they'll they'll take pills, they'll you know, you have
- 4:14Speaker 1: other you know, cutting, you'll have other things like that.
- 4:17Speaker 1: But when you look at what is the normal mechanism
- 4:20Speaker 1: for a woman to commit suicide, it's it's not to
- 4:22Speaker 1: throw herself out a second story window, because oftentimes that
- 4:27Speaker 1: just means pain, not yeah, not death. And so those
- 4:32Speaker 1: those are things that people I think are looking at
- 4:34Speaker 1: and they create their own conspiracy theory about it.
- 4:37Speaker 3: But here's where, here's why I lose a little bit
- 4:39Speaker 3: of of I have some incredible empathy for her, But
- 4:43Speaker 3: here's where I'm confused. Okay, she told her husband to
- 4:47Speaker 3: go get some food for the family, and she told
- 4:50Speaker 3: them to go to her restaurant that was like twenty
- 4:52Speaker 3: minutes away or somewhere far away from the house to
- 4:55Speaker 3: give her time to kill her children. I don't know,
- 4:59Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know how detectives do this. But
- 5:02Speaker 3: wouldn't there be away if Patrick did it? Yeah, wouldn't
- 5:05Speaker 3: there be a way for them to look and see
- 5:08Speaker 3: where his phone was at a certain time? Or wouldn't
- 5:11Speaker 3: she say my husband did this.
- 5:13Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's one of those things that you know,
- 5:15Speaker 1: wouldn't she say it? And then also the forensic evidence
- 5:19Speaker 1: of the strangling that I mean there would be there
- 5:21Speaker 1: would be you know, bruising and things like that. They
- 5:23Speaker 1: would probably lead lead to some evidence there. So right,
- 5:28Speaker 1: you've got all these these theories online, but they don't
- 5:30Speaker 1: necessarily match the evidences presented in court. Yeah, so, what's
- 5:34Speaker 1: bone crushing you said.
- 5:35Speaker 3: What's bone crushing to me is when you when she
- 5:37Speaker 3: you watch her in court, she's devastated when they start
- 5:40Speaker 3: talking about her children.
- 5:41Speaker 2: She's like, I can't, I can't.
- 5:42Speaker 3: She's bawling to know that she has done this to
- 5:45Speaker 3: her children and now is aware that she actually did this.
- 5:48Speaker 2: It is absolutely bone crushing, devastating.
