WAIT... Lindsay Clancy is currently being held at a STATE HOSPITAL instead of a jail... 👀 So why is her mental state even a question? ause I went down a rabbit ho First—Lindsay IS in custody. She’s being held without bail at Tewksbury State Hospital. Being in a hospital does NOT mean she’s free. Here’s the distinction: Mental illness alone does NOT mean someone isn’t criminally responsible. Those are two different questions. The jury isn’t deciding: “Does Lindsay have a mental illness?” They’re deciding whether her mental state met the LEGAL standard for lack of criminal responsibility. And that comes down to ONE moment: January 24, 2023. What was Lindsay’s mental state when the children were killed? THAT is what the jury has to decide. 👀

This confused me at first. Lindsay Clancy is being held at a state hospital instead of a traditional jail… so why is there even a debate about her mental state? Because having a mental illness and being legally NOT criminally responsible are two very different things. And the difference comes down to her mental state at one specific point in time: January 24, 2023. That’s the question the jury has to answer. 👀 #LindsayClancy #LindsayClancyTrial #TrueCrimeTikTok #CourtTok #truecrimestory
