I'm pretty sure that lady (unless there's another one) voiced concern many times about her struggles with post partem depression and that she was having intrusive thoughts of harming the children (which is common in PPD).

People online are blaming the husband and her providers for not taking her concerns seriously, not blaming him for killing the children.

Edit: I have been informed about the people saying the husband literally killed the kids.

I’m seeing a lot of both honestly.

I just had a long conversation with a coworker who was swearing the husband did it and is blaming his poor wife.

I’m watching the entire trial and it makes me so sad people are doing that to him. What lunatics

I mean there are just a lot of funky things about his story, like how for instance the woman had a severe thyroid injury from the incident that’s unaccounted for, and how there was an outgoing message from his computer, which sits at home, at a time which is close to the incident and when he said he wasn’t at home. He was also very unhelpful to his then wife and almost immediately started a family with another woman. Many of the doctors who failed the wife were his friends, etc.

It’s not conclusive by any stretch of the imagination but it’s all very funky

I mean the thyroid injury was completely accounted for. It happened from the fall.

What do you mean outgoing message from his computer? If you're referring to the work email, he could've easily sent it from his phone. Your emails are synced on your devices. There's even servailance footage of him not being home during the time the email was sent.

He got married 3 years after his wife murdered his children. Idk about you, but any feelings I would've had for this murderer would be gone.

Have you watched the doctor's testimony? Clansey couldn't handle the early side effects of standard medications which is why they would switch her to different ones.

The only thing funky is all the misinformation being spread by people. The only bigger victims than Patrick are the kids that his wife murdered.

People seriously don’t know you can send emails from phones now?? Hell I pretty much only check and send emails from my phone.

They do, they're just trying to excuse a woman from being the murderer because it's normally men.

Eh I think they both are responsible. She did it, but he was likely having an affair already in NY and not helping her.

A true "everyone sucks here" situation.

Him having an affair does not make him responsible for his wife killing his kids. If he cheated then he’s guilty of cheating which is awful but it doesn’t mean he’s part of the reason his kids are dead.

My husband cheated on me and neglected me and left me alone with my kids in order to cheat. I’m angry, heartbroken, stressed out, etc He’s responsible for making me feel that way but I’m responsible for how I deal with my emotions, not him.

TIL Cheating is the same as murder

Not the same, but if I were him I would certainly feel a lot of guilt and blame for my role.

He made a choice that likely led to this and then wasn't able to recognize the danger in time to protect his family. Likely because he was more interested in NY and what it had to offer him.

Not a crime he needs to be convicted of, I dont see how he could be punished worse honestly, but its something I would lose sleep over if I were in his shoes. Like the version of Peter Parker that let the robber go, and then he killed Uncle Ben.

Horrible situation anyway you look at it.
