The Real Reason a Mother Who Killed Her Three Kids Became a Martyr

A woman strangles her three children — a five-year-old, a three-year-old, and an eight-month-old baby — with exercise bands in her basement. And right now, there is a national movement campaigning for her to walk free. Not “hoping she gets help.” Not “praying for the family.” Freeing her. Her name is Lindsay Clancy. The hashtags are #FreeLindsay and #FreeHer. And the question this case forces you to answer isn’t whether she’s guilty — she did it, and nobody disputes it — it’s why a society that would burn a father alive for the exact same crime is organizing to make a mother into a martyr. That answer has nothing to do with the law, and everything to do with how we’ve been trained to see women. Let me show you what’s actually happening in that courtroom.
