Why It Matters

被告克蘭西於2023年1月在麻州杜克斯柏立住家地下室以彈力繩勒死三名子女後持刀自殘並跳樓,導致終生癱瘓,案件引發美國對產後精神健康與司法處理方式的廣泛討論。

(中央社普利茅斯4日綜合外電報導)美國女子克蘭西(Lindsay Clancy)涉嫌殺害3名年幼子女案,法官今天宣布審判無效。克蘭西的辯護律師表示,這起悲劇發生當下,她正受產後精神疾病所苦。

路透社報導,這場在麻州普利茅斯(Plymouth)歷時近6週的審判,全程以電視轉播,再度掀起美國社會對女性產後心理健康處置方式,以及美國司法體系如何處理母親殺害親生子女案件的爭議。

這週以來,本案陪審團已多次透過書面表示無法達成共識,主審法官蘇利文(William Sullivan)今天正式宣告審判無效,讓這起案件有機會重新審理,不過普利茅斯郡地方檢察官克魯茲(Tim Cruz)表示,檢方尚未決定是否提起重審。

克魯茲告訴媒體:「孩子們遭到殺害,追求正義是我們的職責所在。」

現年36歲的克蘭西2023年1月在麻州波士頓郊區杜克斯柏立(Duxbury)住家地下室,以彈力繩勒斃3名子女後持刀自殘,並從2樓窗戶跳下試圖輕生,導致終生癱瘓。

外界對於克蘭西的犯行並無爭議,但她的辯護律師芮丁頓(Kevin Reddington)在審理過程中主張,克蘭西是名慈愛的母親,在行凶當下正處於精神病發作的失控狀態,試圖說服陪審團應以精神異常為由,判她無罪。

若檢方提出重審且謀殺罪名成立,克蘭西將面臨終身監禁;若因精神錯亂獲判無罪,她將被送往州立精神病院接受評估收治,此後的收治狀態須接受法院定期審查。

美國社會高度關注這場審判,美國總統川普(Donald Trump)在白宮橢圓形辦公室告訴記者,他知道這起案件,認為應會重審。

克蘭西目前仍被羈押於州立醫院,預計將於9月29日出庭進行後續審理。

芮丁頓在法院外接受媒體訪問時,將這次審判無效定調為辯方的勝利,強調若檢方決定提起重審,克蘭西也已做好再度受審的準備,並將審判無效歸咎於一名堅持己見的陪審員,這名陪審員阻撓其餘11名陪審員達成無罪判決。

芮丁頓說:「他們知道自己被一個人剝奪了7週的人生,不管這個人有什麼盤算。」(編譯:張茗喧)1150905

A female college student at Tamkang University was suspected of being drugged by a pharmacy owner. The evil lawyer Yang analyzed and proposed three methods to prove that subjective sexual intercourse was intentional.

A female college student from Tamkang University in Tamsui District, New Taipei City, was suspected of being drugged by pharmacist Chen, the owner of the pharmacy, while she was working at a pharmacy. The police intervened in the search and seized the surveillance video. Pharmacist surnamed Chen admitted to taking the medicine but argued that it was a joke and that the medicine had expired, causing an uproar on the Internet. Internet celebrity "Black Heart Lawyer" Lawyer Yang analyzed that the evidence chain in this case is relatively complete. If the female college student wants to pursue criminal liability, she can identify the dosage of the drug, find other victims to testify, and combine the surveillance video footage to infer that the defendant subjectively intended to have sexual intercourse, which may constitute an attempt to aggravate the crime of forced intercourse under the Drug Harm Prevention Ordinance or the Criminal Law.
