One of the really interesting things about the trial was that all of her supporters did not focus on the psyche drug angle (as they are politically aligned with psychiatric medication use), whereas her opponents (who are much more opposed to psyche drugs) did not either, since the debate was framed around something else being the cause of the disease. I believe this was a pragmatic choice by the attorney since claiming the Clancey was stressed and had poor psychiatric care was a much easier claim to prove in court than that psychiatric drugs cause psychotic violence (both from the existing accepted science and the political leanings of the jurors).

What's surprising however, is that even if you avoid the question of psychiatric drugs causing violent psychosis, the fact still remains that she had access to a lot of psychiatric care, and per the events shown in court evidence, the psychiatric system completely failed her and their only solution when issues emerged from psyche drugs being mixed into a (previously manageable situation )was to give more drugs. Sadly though, this reality never became a focus in all the discussions on the trial.

She didn't take half the medications, she didn't like that way they made her feel. If they are going to blame the doctors, what about the Pharmacist, where did she get the medication filled at? How many times at the same pharmacy? Clancy, being a registered nurse, knows the side affects of medication as well as the doctors, so don't blame her, just the doctors? Clancy, being a Labor & Delivery Nurse, knows what Postpartum Depression looks like very well. She knew what she was doing 100%. She did research to find a restaurant further away from their home to send hwr huaband to, along with going to the oharmacy. What about her husband, why did he continually leave the kids in her care, all knowing she had mental health issues? Especially after she said the voices in her head were telling her to harm the kids! She tried suicide, that failed, so now let's claim phychotic failure on the doctors behalf and let them take the blame. She know how the medical field works, she is playing it.

Don't let this woman off free!! Don't say, she has to live with the death of her kids for the rest of her life, to be her sentence! She killed those poor babies plain and simple. Stop blaming everyone else! She is to blame!!
