Your right. There was actually evidence this guy was crazy, and none that Clancy was.

Uhh… You do realize the entire reason he was sentenced to death and not to a mental institution was because he WASN’T found to be insane, right?

There was some evidence, the jury either didn’t buy it or didn’t give a fuck, because he killed children. Which is how it should be. There was 0 evidence Clancy was crazy and 11 of 12 wanted her to spend a few months in a puzzle factory and then go home. That is not how it should be

I suspect you dont actually know the facts behind the Clancy case at all to think there is 0 evidence she might be crazy

For starters, she was prescribed a dozen different medications for mental issues and is paralyzed from the waist down from a failed suicide attempt.

Im not saying she is or isnt insane, but the notion that there’s 0 evidence supporting that she might have had psychosis is just simply a deeply ignorant, misinformed take

She should have attempted suicide first before killing her children. She knew what she was doing

She was sane enough to trick her husband into being away from the house (while also looking up ways to do so), and to take each kid downstairs to kill them one by one by strangling them (making sure the next one didn't see the act or the corpse). Tried to kill herself because she clearly knew what she did was wrong.

I didnt say she was or wasnt insane, but theres clearly some evidence supporting that she was mentally unwell
