The Lindsey Clancy jury says its deadlocked. With nine women on the jury, what is the likelihood that at least a couple would not be marinated in profound feelings of pity for themselves? Because that’s what the support for Clancy is about. Nobody gives a hoot about Clancy. The women who jump up and down in support of the child murderer want to attract attention to their own suffering. Try to talk to one of them, and you will see how she immediately segues into her own terrible ordeal of not being everybody’s center of attention every second of every day.
Finding Clancy guilty would entail an acceptance that their own suppurating resentment isn’t justified. Their entire narrative of self as suffering, ill-used victims will collapse. And they don’t have any substitute way of seeing themselves if this one is yanked away.
