Something insidious is taking place in the United States. And it has taken root in America's courts.
That is the disturbing revelation that has come from the latest "bombshell" in the Lindsay Clancy case.
This is the watershed moment for Americans to realize: There is evil afoot in our justice system.
The realization comes in the aftermath of three unnamed jurors coming forward to explain their struggle to convince a lone male holdout that Clancy should be found "not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility" (i.e., insanity).
The startling fact that 11 jurors wanted to render this verdict, and only one man defied them, should send chills down the spines of every American.
The jury system is predicated on the notion that one is judged by his or her peers. But what happens after the culture is poisoned by identity politics, when women believe they are inherently oppressed by men, when black people believe they are intrinsically oppressed by white people, and foreigners come to believe they are being oppressed by the American people?
The jury system falls apart when the standard for guilt and innocence no longer turns on objective evidence, but on whether or not the defendant checks a sympathetic identity box.
In the case of Lindsay Clancy, it no longer became the most relevant fact to female jurors that she had killed her children.
It was that she was a woman mentally struggling with the aftermath of having children.
If this seems like an overstatement, consider the following statement by one unnamed juror regarding the holdout.
"He had the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children."
"He had the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children."

You should be asking yourself why the other jurors got off that fact.

One has to wonder why this fact wasn't more appreciable in the minds of the jurors who cast their vote for "not guilty by reason of insanity."
The juror above not only couldn't pronounce the term "reasonable doubt," but she rebuffed the lone holdout's attempt to bring the judge back in to explain it.
That is why the complaints that he purportedly acknowledged "reasonable doubt" in the atypical context of Lindsay Clancy's state of mind should be taken with a grain of salt.
Clancy did not kill her children in a sudden blur with no sense of circumstance. She did it in the short window after her husband left to pick up food and medicine — an errand that took him out of the house for well under an hour.
That is timing. It is the selection of a moment when no other adult would walk in. In that interval she took the children to the basement and strangled them one by one with exercise bands, a method that is not a single spasm. Each child had to be found, restrained, and held long enough for the band to do its work.
Cora and Callan were found together; Dawson was left in a different room. That is not the signature of a person with no grasp of sequence, setting, or result. It is the signature of a person who knew she needed privacy, a tool, and enough time to finish.
What she did next makes the same point from the other direction. She cut her wrists and neck and jumped from a second-story window. When Patrick found her in the yard and asked what she had done, she was conscious enough to say she had tried to kill herself and that the children were in the basement.
You do not hide the bodies downstairs, send your husband out on an errand, and then try to destroy yourself unless the meaning of the act had resonance.
Illness may explain how she reached that hour. It does not erase the evidence that she chose the hour, chose the method, completed the killings, and then acted like someone who understood what she had just done.
That is why the discussion about "reasonable doubt" about her mental state is so topsy-turvy. It should be fairly irrelevant. We should not ask jurors to play the Amazing Kreskin and try to determine what mental state she was in and whether or not that squares with our popularized understanding of "psychosis."
Indeed, it appears that there were a few nurses on this jury and they tried to play armchair psychologists, while bringing in outside "expertise" about toxicology reports.
There is something of a major bombshell in that interview that the Karen jurors were too stupid to understand while they were bragging about themselves and trashing the holdout.

"There is something of a major bombshell in that interview that the Karen jurors were too stupid to understand while they were bragging about themselves and trashing the holdout," The Federalist's Sean Davis commented.
"One of the jurors admits that multiple nurses on the jury used their experience and medical background to 'explain' toxicology reports to the holdout juror," he added.
"I showed that clip to a trial attorney who immediately saw it as an admission that the pro-Clancy jurors were using outside information and evidence from outside the trial process to bully a juror toward a particular outcome," he continued.
This is extremely problematic and, at minimum, raises questions about whether prosecutors sufficiently explored during voir dire how jurors with medical backgrounds might approach — and potentially rely on their own expertise in evaluating — the evidence.
Now we are awaiting a retrial of this horrific case. And if the case wasn't terrifying enough, it has unveiled that too many Americans are willing to excuse evil if they identify with the perpetrator.
Whether or not this murder case is a litmus test for a bloody revolution, it is functioning like one.
If a socialist revolutionary were using it to gauge the public appetite for political violence, he would have to conclude that certain segments of the population are predisposed to justify it.
We need more men like the lone juror who would not bend to the crowd. No matter their bullying pleas to set aside his moral standards because of the identity of the accused, he refused to do it.
It is a ray of light in this oppressively dark cloud of a case; there still exist men who know evil when they see it. Even better, they refuse to apologize for it.
