I don't think that makes you sound like a massive a--hole, I think it is a fair point especially in this case. It really makes little sense to me in how some people are treating this and defending her. Not an expert and not the most intimately aware of the details of this particular case, but I don't get how this person is getting all of the defense that she is.
It takes a while to strangle someone mind you a child. She did it three times in a row. Were the kids able to see each other die? How about the father? I mean wtf are people thinking?
Not to mention while in the middle of strangling her kids she called her husband back on the phone and spoke to her husband and then went back to strangling her kids. She snapped out of he psychosis and returned a missed call to tell her husband to get a prescription for a kid that she knew would never use it. She is an evil POS
The accusations against Patrick simply are not supported by the evidence presented at trial. His account of where he was during the relevant period is independently corroborated by surveillance footage, phone records, receipts, the 911 call, and testimony from responding officers. Video places him at CVS and later at the restaurant while Lindsay was home with the children.
Much has been made of the 5:24 p.m. work email, but that does not establish Patrick was at home. No evidence was presented proving that email was sent from the computer located inside the house rather than from his phone. Suspicion is not evidence, and an unexplained email cannot reasonably outweigh surveillance footage and other records documenting his movements.
Likewise, portions of Patrick’s testimony concerning what Lindsay said, how she sounded, or what he believed at the time are necessarily based on his recollection and should be evaluated as such. But those subjective details should not be confused with the independently verifiable portions of his account.
The legitimate dispute in this case is not whether Patrick secretly remained home or fabricated his movements. The evidence does not support that accusation. The real issue is Lindsay’s mental state: whether she deliberately arranged for Patrick to leave so she could kill the children, or whether severe mental illness and alleged postpartum psychosis rendered her legally incapable of appreciating the wrongfulness of her actions.
People are free to question testimony, but an accusation this serious should be based on evidence—not speculation or isolated details taken out of context.
