Cases like this often make the news. It’s sensational because it goes against one of the things we think is foundational to society. We see similar things with cases where kids kill their parents, but less since we expect parents to care for their kids more. People still talk about Casey Anthony and the even the dingo case. This case may be getting more publicity than others because of a variety of factors, including her prolonged struggle with mental health, but I really don’t think it’s so substantial I’d call it a psyop. I’m not on TikTok though so I don’t know what they’re saying there.
I don’t think it’s as cut and dry as you assume, seeing that a jury of those same Americans don’t seem to think it’s as cut and dry. I think a lot of people don’t actually understand what you refer to as “Walmart Americans” actually believe. I understand the fear that America is backsliding, but suggesting that we give up on justice does not help us. I’d also like to point out that people don’t think she should walk free. Even in your original comment you note that you don’t want to live in a society with people like her. She will likely be in a mental health facility for a long time if not her life. I don’t think most people think prison is the right place for someone with such severe mental illnesses and the jury seems to reflect that.
This is a showing my ignorance but can she be locked away in a mental health facility? In Canada this hasn’t been a thing for many years. It’s prison or back into society with medication after they decide you are fit for society. Maybe a short hospital visit if lucky. Usually whichever is cheapest
If she is found not guilty due to lack of criminal responsibility, the court would begin the process of committing Clancy to a state psychiatric facility. Her commitment order would be subject to regular review by the court, though she could be committed to the facility indefinitely. If she is deemed no longer mentally ill and not a danger to the community, she could be released following a hearing.
