What does Lindsay Clancy signify though, is this not like a “one off” instance either way? OJ in comparison was a football celebrity, and had a lot of tension on racial lines… but Lindsay Clancy is like just a random person

With the Clancy case, I don’t think first degree murder is necessarily warranted given some of the details, but second degree definitely is. This case though, from what it sounds like, is first degree murder. Throw her in the slammer for life.

With a two year old? That’s unlikely. Usually post partum depression does not go on for that long unless there are mitigating factors. The main issue though, setting aside mental health, is that she was closely following the Clancy trial. So regardless of mental health, it’s clear that she had some capacity of judging right or wrong, and was trying to use the Clancy case as a model for a legal justification to kill her kid. Or at least that’s what it seems like. We‘ll find out more in the trial

I should say that if she had another kid after the two year old, that might still be a valid defense. A weak one, given her pretty apparent following of the Clancy case, but a useable one regardless.

It's a boy, and toddlers are famously bad to deal with. I think she's justified
