“A simple child, That lightly draws its breath, And feels its life in every limb, What should it know of death?” open William Wordsworth’s 1798 poem We Are Seven from Lyrical Ballads

    It gets confusing for a layman like myself to sort out all the innuendo, BS, and psycobabble flying across the MSMM from the facts of the case, but it looks like (IMHO) the one holdout on the jury is getting it right. Listening to the radio yesterday, as I was on my daily walk, it was announced the holdout is a black male, which is causing all kinds of confusion and cognitive dissonance in the leftist ranks. Bless that man!

      Why did reading that cause for libtarded confusion make me the dino laugh? Otherwise, that fine mess of a trial is most sad.
      If I'm not mistaken, a month or so ago I somewhere read about another woman who murdered three of her little kids, had some sort of a trial that eventually set her free young enough to remarry and have three more little kids.
      So what did she do? She murder them too!
      Wish my jogged memory retained more facts. Tuesday next week almost aged 80 me dino will be telling my primary physician that I've been forgetting stuff off and on.

        Yes, there is an eerily similar case that occurred exactly three years to the day before the Lindsay Clancy tragedy. On January 24, 2020, a 44-year-old pediatric nurse named Deirdre Morley killed her three young children (ages 9, 7, and 3) in Dublin, Ireland, and then attempted suicide. The iniitials of the children, C,D,C, were the same, too.
        ...
        Both of the perps didn't try hard enough, to commit suicide. They were sane enough to plan, plot and carry out multiple murders, but too cowardly to carry through with the self-judgement and making amends.

        Dino we all wish we retained more facts - but even more, we know murder when we see it and have it described. We try to forget facts when the facts presented are sooooo incredibly disingenuous.

    I agree with others here; I believe the lone juror got it right. She planned to kill her kids, she killed them, and she admitted killing them. What part of that did the other eleven jurors not understand? She's guilty. Whether or not she was playing with a full deck at the time she committed these three murders does NOT change the fact that she did, in FACT, commit them. How anyone sitting on a jury could find her not guilty of them is beyond any thought process I could muster.

    Just unbelievable. My only question is this: WTF is wrong with Massachusetts?

    Looking at the faces of these three sweet babies my eyes fill with tears. As one who wanted many, but God had other plans they would have been loved beyond their imagination had she given them to someone. Exercise bands.... good God!

    The holdout juror is a hero, but it's all for naught if they decide not to retry her.

    The really sad news from this is what it tells us about American women in general. Most of them support no punishment for this.

    When race, sex, or any other demographic predicts the outcome of jury trials better than the facts do, it's time to stop having jury trials. This is why we can't have high-trust societies.
