If Clancy gets acquitted, it’d be the feminist equivalent of OJ. I’d seriously consider the 19th amendment a mistake given how much support she’s getting.
Acquittal isnt on the table. The question is whether she is guilty, or not guilty by reason of insanity (NGRI).
An NGRI finding sends her to a mental facility until she is deemed to have been treated, no longer s threat to society, and the mental facilities discretion (essentially) that she is no longer mentally ill.
In essence, NGRI is a life sentence for which you are eligible for parole, and which is served at a mental hospital rather than a prison (theres a but more nuance to it, but thays the gist).
I cannot overstate that no one (excepting, perhaps, a handful of actual crazies on ticktock) is advocating for her aquittal or innocence; the majority "supporting" position is that she should be treated/confined to a mental hospital, rather than being sent to prison, which is consistent with decades of law (that no one cared about previously) where someone suffering from acute psychosis kills during a psychotic episode, and is found NGRI.
Again: no one is hoping for an aquittal. Additionally, to be clear, you are free to think than an NGRI finding is inappropriate based on either, or both, policy reasons (e.g., NGRI shouldnt exist) or factual reasons (e.g., you don't believe she was actually psychotic). But its imperative to understand that no one (again excepting some ticktock crazies) is saying she should be aquitted.
Well your first mistake was downloading ticktock lol. For the rest, im just going to copy/paste my other comment, brother:
"A handful of dipshits on social media claim to believe that, but it is by no means "a lot," even if you believe that every single person posting it is sincere in their claims (which I doubt, personally).
You'll feel better if you dont let algorithmic biases convince you that the most extreme and asinine positions taken by fringe members of various groups, are representative of the actual opinions held by group constituents."
Ticktock isnt reality, my man, and the algorithm pushes the most insane takes to drive engagement. I promise you that is not actually a widely held position.
