Lindsay Clancy is Feminsm

The Lindsay Clancy case ended in a mistrial after a jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict, but the disagreement inside the jury room raises a much bigger question. In this episode, we look at the arguments surrounding criminal responsibility, mental illness, and whether someone's personal circumstances should change how we judge an unthinkable crime.We also examine the host's criticism of the way some jurors and commentators viewed the case through gender and power dynamics. The conversation expands into feminism, the oppressor-versus-oppressed framework, the insanity defense, and whether those ideas can influence how responsibility is assigned.Finally, we break down the reported tension among the jurors, including the holdout juror who favored conviction and his account of the deliberations.
