“Many on the right think the near-acquittal is an indictment of women or of feminism, even though two of the three male jurors also favored acquittal. As I see it, there are several problems with the take by the right and some libertarians here. First, from the fact that Clancy killed her children, they conclude that it’s obvious she should be found guilty and imprisoned for life. This shows no awareness of the complex nature of criminal trials.” (09/12/26)
