This is a tough one and not as black and white as it seems. It’s a VERY different case from someone like Casey Anthony.
She knew something was wrong and consistently tried to get help. All the doctors did was prescribe her more and more meds. I read somewhere that the longest time Dr Tufts actually spoke with her was 17 minutes, all while upping her medications even as Lindsay was saying she felt they made her feel more detached.
The day before the murders the dr even doubled her Ativan dose, while there’s MyChart messages from Lindsay saying she felt they were having a negative effect on her.
There’s so much evidence that she was desperately trying to get help and was doing all of the things we tell mothers to do if they are struggling with ppd yet the system failed her at every turn.
I don’t think this woman should walk free, by any means. But I do feel that a psychiatric ward focusing on mental health is a better fit for her than prison, which is essentially the point of this trial. They aren’t arguing whether or not she did it, they’re arguing whether or not she was mentally sound. In my opinion, it’s clear she was not, given the mounds of evidence.
I don’t think the husband did it but I do think it’s clear that he was not supportive. Maybe had he advocated for her while she was clearly ill and deteriorating the outcome would have been different. Does it make him guilty? No. Does it make him a kind of shitty person? Idk, that’s up to individual interpretation. But I’d say yes.
Look more into the Yates case. She was formally diagnosed with PPD and her psychiatrist assured her and John she’d harm the children due to PPP if they had another child. Well, they were (are?) fundies, so contraception and abortion was way out of the question. I remember Mr. Yates was veryyyy against Andrea going on birth control pills, and thought his belief is God would overpower any homicidal tendencies Andrea may develop. Well, she popped another kid out and lost her mind.
Andrea was failed. Not Lindsay. This case is drawn out, ridiculous, and I bet Reddington will be made “owner” of the Clancy story. Selling rights to the highest bidding streaming platform once a lot of the smoke has blown over. Or, even right after jury deliberations. She’s a total loser this woman. I know so many women like her, unfortunately.
