I’m no expert, but I think she was very unwell & not treated effectively by the right professionals.

Mintyt · 10/08/2026 21:07

I’m following, and beginning to think she didn’t do it

BeWildPearlFish · 10/08/2026 21:07

She's admitted she did it! but is pleading not guilty by reason of insanity due to PPP

ProudCoralBear · 10/08/2026 21:07

I don’t think she did it

Victorius19 · 10/08/2026 21:09

It's a very upsetting story. I'm struggling to see how she could have been that unwell and no one around her noticed or did anything.

They didn’t need to notice, she TOLD them. She was failed by every medical professional, and she was failed by her husband. As were the children.

Glad someone else thinks she innocent! I’m following the whole thing. It’s becoming very clear that he’s guilty!
I love Reddington!

Widowwith2 · 10/08/2026 21:58

I have my doubts she was told she confessed (with a crushed thyroid) why would she doubt herself?

The timeline isn't working i cant make it fit i would HATE to be the one making a decision on this

PrincessDonutTheQueenAnneChonk · 11/08/2026 00:00

She has admitted she did it! I suspect a lot of people saying she is innocent are getting their information from TikTok which is spreading a whole lot of lies and disinformation.

This, conspiracy theorists everywhere.

Her lawyer is working steadily and surely to unravel the horrific care she received the lack of oversight over her medications by multiple prescribers the callous selfish abandonment of her and the dc by Patrick and to create a lot of reasonable doubt. I’m not sure she did it and I’m not sure he didn’t do it. I do recall his very early public forgiveness of her after the dc died and even then it didn’t resonate as normal to me. Too public.

and is it true her dna wasn’t found on the strangulation device…the exercise bands..only his?

placemats · 11/08/2026 00:54

What is the point of imprisonment for a person who is a quadriplegic and who suffered post partum psychosis which is a known danger for self harm and murder to their children? Is she a danger to society? Why is this even going to court?

ScarletLisa · 11/08/2026 00:57

I bet if she lived in the UK her children would still be alive & she'd be getting the right treatment.
The US may mock our NHS but our patient care is miles better simply because we don't have insurers interfering with treatment plans, medication & which doctors you can see.

It's absolutely a no go to withdraw anti depressants just like that, it's a tapered withdrawal.

I really think from what I've read (no TikTok) that the medical professionals supplying her care/treatment are ones to ultimately blame as they caused Lindsay to get so ill, that in her state killing herself & the children was the right thing to do.
99.9% of mothers in their right mind wouldn't kill their children & I think Lindsay is in that majority.
She also accepts what she's done & her ex husband supports her.

The trial is being shown live

She wouldn't be the first to confess to a murder She didn't commit

NowIsTheWinterOfOurDiscontent · 11/08/2026 19:14

I’d vote not guilty by reason of insanity.

also the ex dh is a lying cheating sack of shit.

Just to add a correction that Lindsay is paraplegic. She has use of her arms.

This, conspiracy theorists everywhere.

I’ve been following this trial, and there’s a number of red flags that could potentially indicate there’s more going on here.

Her internal temp was 27.8degrees Celsius, having only been in the snow for about 15mins?

Her fingerprints were not found on the exercise bands or the knife she apparently used to harm herself.

Apparently she crushed and took medication in an attempt to commit suicide, but the levels were nowhere near close enough to cause harm. What nurse crushes meds and wouldn’t know the small levels she took would do zero harm? Equally, the injuries she apparently caused herself were superficial… what nurse wouldn’t know what major arteries to target?

Her husband has unaccounted for time in his journey to CVS, at least 15minutes even though the drive should have taken 3. He can’t explain that. Can’t explain why it took twice the time it should have to return home either.

During the time he should have been at CVS, there was an email sent from a device of his at his home.

Patrick apparently left the house at 5.15pm. He and Lindsay spoke on the phone at 5.34pm, and he said it was a normal call. He arrives home approx 6pm. So she would have had to fatally harm all three of her children, which takes much longer than people think it does, go upstairs, crush and take medication, harm herself repeatedly, before pushing the bed to the window and jumping out. All in less than 25mins? Yet her internal temperature was just over 27 degrees, something which would likely only happen with a much more prolonged exposure to cold.

Her husband apparently started dating his now wife mere months after his children were murdered. He’s now married to that woman….

The whole case it tragically sad, and there’s no doubt this woman was suffering from PPP and crying out for help, but there are definitely unanswered questions and I can see why people are suspicious.

AhHereNow · 11/08/2026 21:10

Her thyroid was also crushed, which is usually inconsistent with a fall and more likely to be from strangulation, and would have probably rendered her non verbal at that time, unable to tell her husband where the children were, which is what he has said happened. Emergency response also said she was physically incapable of speaking.

He also said on the stand it took him a number of minutes to call 911 because ‘the WiFi wasn’t working’. That’s not a thing, 911 calls will go through regardless of WiFi, all you need is battery.

And apparently her Apple Watch was found in a drawer, but recorded apparent activity of the killings? So she took her Apple Watch off and placed it in a drawer before she leapt out the window?

PolkaDotPorridge · 11/08/2026 21:13

No way she did it. We gave another Chris Watts situation.

placemats · 11/08/2026 21:23

Lindsay has pleaded guilty by insanity. Prosecution says premeditated which is why there's a trial I'm presuming.

placemats · 11/08/2026 21:24

Totally understand the outrage regarding her husband. Infuriating 😞

pomegranatescent · 11/08/2026 21:28

She didn’t do it!

A nurse would know how to cut themselves to kill themselves.

and let’s not forget he moved in with his new partner within a matter of weeks
