More Ethics Notes On The Lindsay Clancy Case…

Things are not as simple as the Babylon Bee would have us think. Ethics Alarms already posted two essays on this case, here and here. The latter, a Comment of the Day by Tim Levier, concluded by describing the protesters and demonstrators thusly:

The Protestors / Defenders / Supporters – Providing financial and material support to someone with whom they have no prior connection.

These people are deranged and one has to question where they came from and who has time to commit to such folly at a time when everyone and their mother is complaining about the cost of things. Why would anyone protest due process? She’s making her case in a court of law and the fair process will play out resulting in a judgment. This isn’t an area for “opinions” and to influence an outcome. Its meddlesome and the act of a narcissist that believes in one’s own “greatness” or “importance” over that of an impartial judicial institution.

Clancy’s trial, presumably the first of two (at least), ended in a mistrial yesterday due to a hung jury. A single juror, widely believed to be one of the three men on the 12 juror panel, was apparently refusing to budge from his unshakable belief that the woman who has confessed to murdering her three children is guilty of murder. I dunno, that seems like a defensible verdict to me, but I wasn’t in the courtroom during the trial.

But I digress. Here are recent ethics-related developments and observations:

One thought on “More Ethics Notes On The Lindsay Clancy Case…

  1. If the majority of women will excuse a woman who murders all of her kids, then there is an open question about whether women (at least in the West) should be allowed to serve on juries. They were not weighing psychological testimony that vitiated intent or an understanding of the rightness or wrongness of the action.. They just saw the word “postpartum” and blamed everyone else BUT Clancy.

    Although, on a side note, I think most of the psychological profession is corrupt and absurd, so one positive out of this trial hopefully is a diminished respect for it overall.

    All of this “same Lindsay” stuff is insane. We have to have an honest conversation about what’s going on with women in this country. They vote for the right to kill their own children and think that it’s empowerment. Something is deeply wrong.
