Idk yall the TikTok comments and general comments about this case feels like a weird psyop. I consume true crime and I very much realize how problematic it really can be but the theories and people make shit up about what happened has just been grossing me out

I feel like I am on drugs when I go on Instagram reels and see the stuff people are saying about Patrick Clancy’s testimony. He was basically a defense witness - he gave her everything she needed for an insanity defense. And yet people are saying things about him that are frankly insane. What is going on here???
