The surgeon called it superficial. Dr. Christina Carpio, general surgeon, Southern Shore Hospital, told the jury at Plymouth Superior Court that the cuts on Lindsay Clancy's wrist and neck the night of January 24th, 2023, went through skin and exposed fat. Not muscles, not arteries, not tendon. She came in hypothermic, body temperature so low, they wrapped her in a bear hugger blanket just to get it back up. The cuts didn't need any further treatment. That's what prosecutors wanted from the witness. That word, superficial. Never mind being paralyzed from the waist down and coding and nearly dying upon her arrival to the hospital. Let's just really focus over here on the word superficial cuts. You know, you can go through a horrific accident. You can go flying through a windshield of a vehicle. You can have your torso separated from your other part of your body.
And you can still have superficial injuries, too. You could have some scrapes over here. Those would be called superficial. It doesn't mean the whole damn thing is superficial. I think when your legs are over here and your upper parts over there, that ain't superficial. Same with this case. Even though she's all together, she ain't working from the waist down anymore. That's not superficial. And the medical people are not calling it superficial. You know who's calling it superficial? You know who's trying to use the word superficial and trying to confuse a jury in a really, I think, insulting way to their intelligence? The attorneys, the prosecutor in this case. You know what I would also call superficial? The prosecution of this case. I just don't quite feel like she's in it to win it, if you get my drift. And good. I don't know how you really could be in it to win it. If you truly are objectively looking at the medical science and mental health and how all of this works, if you are being intellectually honest with yourself about any of that, you're not going to be seeing a woman who was plotting and planning her escape from the world by executing her three children with exercise bands and then becoming paralyzed from the waist down. Well, she didn't mean for that to happen. What was her other plan? Where's the boyfriend? Where's the escape plan? Where's all that shit that we see in the other cases where this sort of thing is that? I don't know if we've had too much of that in our lives in these stories. That now every time we see something like this happen, we're like, well, it must be that. Maybe it's confirmation bias that's making a lot of people look at this case without a clear view, with really foggy glasses. This isn't Casey Anthony.
This isn't, insert other monstrous woman here.
This is its own case with its own facts with its own set of circumstances.
And just because you or someone you know, or someone you don't know or you read it on a TikTok, got through their postpartum just fine. Turn that frown upside down.
Doesn't mean that that's how everyone does it, or that's how Lindsay Clancy should have done it, because you in Paducah thought, well, my sister got through it just fine. That's lovely, that has absolutely nothing to do with anything we're talking about.
And if you can think that simplistically, then I guess superficial means a lot when it's talking about a cut.
But she inflicted those. Yeah, people can inflict superficial wounds and go, that didn't work. I'm gonna throw myself out the window since these superficial cuts don't seem to be doing the job I hope they do. And I don't really have any track record or history of doing this. So I don't really know how deep to cut or what to cut or how to do it. And maybe it just hurts physically too much to do this. I'm going out the window.
Superficial, I'm not blaming the doctors for that word. Those are superficial cuts.
The rest of this is not. And it's just a simple fact of the case. Being used by the prosecution to try and confuse and bamboozle 18 people in a jury box. Doesn't that sound ethical?
Doesn't that sound like an attorney with integrity? No, it sounds more like an attorney playing Cardi games with the 18 people who were unfortunate enough to get the jury duty notice.
She wants people to believe that maybe the attempt wasn't real. Maybe Lindsay Clancy staged it all. Maybe she calculated everything that happened that night and exactly commit the one thing she was supposed to have been committed to.
