The Lindsay Clancy Trial Revealed A Dangerous Blind Spot Among Mothers
After assisting with multiple jury trials, I can see why the prosecutors who litigate criminal cases involving minors would want female jurors. A woman’s natural “mama bear” instinct to protect her children would cause any attorney to assume women, especially mothers, would want justice for any child who was harmed. But after watching the reactions to the Lindsay Clancy trial, and the interviews of the female jurors on the case, I can’t help but…
The children's mother fought to be acquitted in court. But the father has stood before a completely different "jury."
For contemporary feminists, it is clear: Lindsay Clancy, the woman who killed her three children, is not a perpetrator but a victim. An earlier generation of feminists, however, resisted precisely this idea. They demanded recognition of women's capacity for cruelty and perpetration.
