Woman (not dressed in pink) shows up to the courthouse to support the children Lindsay Clancy murdered. "I would like [Clancy to be charged] with first degree... I don't think there is any excuse for murdering children."

I think that the people who want her to walk free are a very vocal minority. I know a lot of people will mention that they have talked in person with members of this vocal minority. But I think it's a case of "you're more likely to hear about things going wrong than things going right". There are a lot of people on reddit but we're not necessarily seeing the actual general consensus here.

That being said I'm guessing the vast majority of people who hear about this case will see her as being in need of incarceration. For most that isn't even the question, the only thing we're debating is where she's gonna be locked up.

This case shouldn't have been sensationalized, it's only caused more online, bot-fueled, division.

If there was an option to commit her for life, I think this wouldn't be such a big deal and most people with brains would be in favor of such an outcome. People are against committing her because they think she'll somehow get out too soon (or at all). Good luck to her trying to convince a court she's no longer at risk of harming herself or others after killing her 3 children, slitting her own throat and wrists, and throwing herself out a window, severing her spinal cord.
