On this first episode of Season 7, I open up with a discussion of murder, the death penalty, and insanity. The context of this is the Lindsay Clancy trial currently taking place. At the time of this episode being recorded, the jury remains undecided on whether or not she was morally culpable when she killed her children and if she had a mental disease or defect that makes her not criminally responsible. But is that how God's law administers justice? Does Scripture allow for insanity or even demonic possession to absolve someone of responsibility? I consider those questions, and others, on today's episode.

In this episode just before the verdict happens in the Lindsay Clancy trial I hope to provide a balanced and sober view of this tragedy.
We look at noteworthy pieces of evidence from the trial that seem to indicate that Lindsay Clancy did not have postpartum psychosis and planned the murder of her three children. From no official diagnosis before the trial to allegedly hearing a voice only once to the forensics of the timeline of that day, we see good reason to doubt the defense's story.
Several viral moments in the trial such as Clancy's eerie stare and Vanity Fair's Brittany Ramano flirting at the camera raised the ire of spectators siding with the prosecution.
Five possible verdicts await Lindsay Clancy with some likelier than others.
