The Lindsay Clancy Case Explained — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00You see, Lindsay Clancy has a problem.
- 0:02She's currently on trial for
- 0:04premeditatedly
- 0:06killing her three kids. Now, the word
- 0:08premeditatedly is the keyword here. It
- 0:10basically means she thought about it,
- 0:11she planned it, she did it. The defense
- 0:13said, "That's a damn lie. She did it.
- 0:15She just didn't plan to do it. She was
- 0:18going through psychosis at the time."
- 0:21See, this case is a little more
- 0:22complicated than it may seem, but first,
- 0:24we got to understand what happened. You
- 0:26see, one day, Patrick, who was Lindsay's
- 0:28husband at the time, was working from
- 0:30home. After he finished working, he
- 0:32said, "Look, Lindsay, we don't got time
- 0:34to cook, so you want me to go pick
- 0:36something up?" Lindsay said, "Yes,
- 0:38absolutely." So, as Patrick's leaving,
- 0:40Lindsay texts him at 5:15 p.m. Remember
- 0:43that time.
- 0:44"One of our three kids needs medicine
- 0:47from the CVS. Can you pick it up on your
- 0:49way to get food?" He said, "Bet." So,
- 0:52Patrick goes to the CVS, picks up the
- 0:55medicine for the kids, calls Lindsay,
- 0:57says, "Hey, is this the right thing?"
- 0:58She says, "Yeah."
- 1:00He goes to the restaurant, picks up the
- 1:02food,
- 1:03drives home. When he gets to his house,
- 1:05this is a model of his house, by the
- 1:06way. Everything was quiet. He said,
- 1:08"That's a little weird." So, he starts
- 1:09calling out to everybody, his kids and
- 1:11Lindsay. Nobody answers. Eventually, he
- 1:14finds Lindsay outside on the floor. He
- 1:16asked her, "What happened?" She said she
- 1:18tried to
- 1:19herself. He said, "Okay, where are the
- 1:20kids?" She said, "They're in the
- 1:22basement." So, Patrick goes to the
- 1:24basement and finds the three kids.
- 1:28Calls the police. Police pull up.
- 1:30Everyone is in agreement of what
- 1:31happened. Patrick said,
- 1:34"That happened." Lindsay said, "That did
- 1:36happen."
- 1:37Prosecutor said, "That happened." Police
- 1:39said, "That happened." Lindsay's defense
- 1:40said, "Yeah, everything Patrick said
- 1:42happened." People are even in agreement
- 1:44about what happened before that took
- 1:46place. Lindsay said, "I was very, very
- 1:50depressed. I was experiencing psychosis.
- 1:52I was seeking help from mental health
- 1:55professionals from everyone around.
- 1:58Patrick said, she was. She absolutely
- 2:01was. Her defense says, yes she was. The
- 2:02mental health professionals come out and
- 2:04say, yeah, yeah, yeah, she called me. We
- 2:06prescribed her this. She was absolutely
- 2:08seeking help. Everyone's in agreement
- 2:11with that.
- 2:12But the twist is the defense is saying,
- 2:14well, you see that she was seeking all
- 2:15of this help. That's why she The kid she
- 2:17was experiencing a lot of mental health
- 2:19issues. And the prosecution is saying,
- 2:21no, no, no, no, no. That's just an
- 2:23excuse. She The kids because she wanted
- 2:26to. Now that you know what happened,
- 2:27here's where things start to get wicked.
- 2:30I'm going to give you facts. We about to
- 2:31get to the nitty-gritty of it. First
- 2:34fact, Lindsay, when she tried to
- 2:37herself, it involved her jumping from a
- 2:40high place.
- 2:41She's paralyzed from the waist down
- 2:43because of it. The defense said, you see
- 2:44that she tried to herself for real, for
- 2:46real. She really has mental health
- 2:47issues. Prosecution said, I don't know.
- 2:49She was getting help. Like, what y'all
- 2:51mean? This right here is one of the
- 2:52people that was helping her. The defense
- 2:54said, well, I'm glad that you brought
- 2:55this person up because the help she was
- 2:58getting is actually the problem. The
- 3:00defense goes to the psychiatrist lady. I
- 3:01forgot her name. The defense said, okay,
- 3:03all the stuff you was giving her, like,
- 3:04was it working? She said, I mean, not We
- 3:07was working on it. It wasn't quite He
- 3:08said, he said, so you didn't do your
- 3:09job, for real. That was basically the
- 3:11psychiatrist argument with the defense.
- 3:14And it was really intense. He was damn
- 3:16near cussing her out talking about, I
- 3:18found a mistake on your paperwork.
- 3:19What's going on with that? She said, you
- 3:20trying to make it seem like I'm stupid.
- 3:22It was just like a typo. He said, he
- 3:23said, he said, a typo? Ooh, a typo. She
- 3:25said, ooh, you rage baiting me. The
- 3:26judge had to come in and he said, hey,
- 3:27y'all got to chill. Not in my courtroom.
- 3:28Not in my courtroom. The defense said,
- 3:30oh, so you making typos? You prescribing
- 3:32her whatever, this and that? We just
- 3:34giving her whatever we want. Matter of
- 3:35fact, give me another psychiatrist. Next
- 3:37psychiatrist pull up. Next psychiatrist
- 3:39pull up. Defense said, so what were you
- 3:41prescribing her? This, that, and the
- 3:42third? And he said,
- 3:45Defense said,
- 3:46Next psychiatrist. He start calling
- 3:48psychiatrist out. Turns out she had like
- 3:5113 prescriptions. Another psychiatrist
- 3:53pulled up said, "Yeah, she did pull up
- 3:55and say she wanted to herself." She said
- 3:57it was getting real bad. The defense
- 3:59said, "Okay, so what did y'all do?"
- 4:01I I just said, "Well, we didn't do
- 4:03anything." The defense said, "Excuse
- 4:04me?" Yeah, they said, "Yeah, the rules
- 4:06state that you got to have a plan about
- 4:09yourself before we can actually commit
- 4:10you to something."
- 4:11But, you know, I sent her some
- 4:12resources. And the defense said, "Where
- 4:14are the resources you sent her?" I said,
- 4:16"You know what? I actually didn't send
- 4:17the resources." So, you could probably
- 4:18see where Lindsay's defense is coming
- 4:20from. They're saying, "Look, the mental
- 4:21health uh system failed her." In fact,
- 4:24Lindsay and her defense have a separate
- 4:26civil case where they're suing many
- 4:28people in the mental health system. The
- 4:30prosecution is saying, "Nah, that still
- 4:33wouldn't have drove her to her kids.
- 4:35That part she did on purpose. She might
- 4:37have had mental health issues, but not
- 4:39bad enough to She did that on purpose.
- 4:43You could see by the text she's sending
- 4:44people like she seemed that she was
- 4:46sound of mind. Like she did it on
- 4:48purpose. And that's pretty much the case
- 4:50that's going on." Now, you'll notice
- 4:52that nowhere in this video that I
- 4:53mentioned the husband Patrick being the
- 4:56culprit because that is absolutely not
- 5:00the focus of this case by the defense or
- 5:03the prosecution. But, let's talk about
- 5:05why people believe that he might be.
- 5:07See, if you remember earlier, I told you
- 5:10Patrick was working.
- 5:11He leaves the house to go get medicine
- 5:13for the kids at CVS and he goes to get
- 5:15takeout, right? Well,
- 5:17he left the house, remember this number,
- 5:19at 8:00. Coincidentally, it's actually
- 5:205:15 right now. He left the house at
- 5:225:15. The CVS is about 3 minutes away
- 5:26from their house. The cameras catch
- 5:29Patrick walking into the CVS at 5:32.
- 5:33He leaves the house 5:15, it's 3 minutes
- 5:35away, he gets there at 5:32. The
- 5:37mathematics ain't adding up. People
- 5:40online are saying, "Oh, that's weird."
- 5:41But, in the actual trial, they didn't
- 5:43really seem to care cuz remember, that's
- 5:45not the defense's argument, that's not
- 5:46the prosecution's argument. But they did
- 5:48ask him about it. The prosecutor told
- 5:50him, "Look, why did it take you so long
- 5:51to get from your house to the CVS?" He
- 5:53said, "I don't know." The defense pulled
- 5:55up and said, "No, we got this
- 5:56prosecution. Look, Patrick, we're not
- 5:58saying you did it, but we really need to
- 5:59get to the bottom of this because we got
- 6:01something else over here. It says that
- 6:02you sent an email to your job at 5:24.
- 6:06You leave your house at 5:15, an email
- 6:08gets sent at 5:24. Does that mean you
- 6:10were still at the crib? Like, what's
- 6:12going on for real?" Patrick said, "Bro,
- 6:14I don't know. I might have sent the
- 6:15email from my iPhone, but I know I
- 6:16didn't leave the house that late. I
- 6:18might have sent it from my I don't know.
- 6:20I don't remember." Now, that's a little
- 6:22weird. But regardless, the defense did
- 6:24not follow up on this. Now, people also
- 6:27noticed the husband, Patrick, seemed to
- 6:29have changed his clothes. He seemed to
- 6:30have changed his jacket from a short
- 6:33button-down to like a longer button-down
- 6:34cuz he's also caught in surveillance in
- 6:37the restaurant. In the restaurant, his
- 6:40shoes seem different and
- 6:43his jacket seems like it has a zipper or
- 6:45that pulls down uh lower. Gives you a
- 6:47closer look at his shoes when he was in
- 6:49the restaurant versus the CVS. His shoes
- 6:52seem different and again, they're saying
- 6:54the jacket seems different. Defense did
- 6:56not follow up on this. They're
- 6:58maintaining this has nothing to do with
- 7:00their case. They're pleading that
- 7:01Lindsey absolutely did it, but she was
- 7:04going through psychosis. People also
- 7:06claim that this might be one of
- 7:08Patrick's friends walking into the CVS
- 7:10and this might be uh Patrick going into
- 7:13the restaurant after he finished in the
- 7:16kids. And now that I look at this
- 7:17picture a little closer, do these two
- 7:19people seem to have different hairstyles
- 7:21to you? Okay, but regardless, that's
- 7:22neither here nor there. The defense is
- 7:24saying, "We don't care about the hair,
- 7:25we don't care about the clothes, we
- 7:26don't care about this, that, and the
- 7:27third." The defense and the prosecution
- 7:29maintain, "We are both in agreement
- 7:31about what happened, Lindsey and the
- 7:33three kids. We're just not in agreement
- 7:35on why it happened." But regardless of
- 7:37who you think did it, the question of
- 7:39the trial is, "Can she be held
- 7:41responsible for killing her kids even
- 7:44though she was crying out for help
- 7:45constantly explaining to people that her
- 7:47mental health was really, really, really
- 7:49deteriorating. And that's a question the
- 7:51jury has to ask and that's a question I
- 7:52want to ask you. What do you think? Let
- 7:54me know. And truly rest in peace to
- 7:56those three kids because I feel like
- 7:58they they're forgotten in all of this,
- 7:59but they should be mentioned first and
- 8:02foremost. Rest in peace to the three
- 8:03kids.
