I live in the exact same scenario and have had at least two heated arguments with my wife about it. I guess it's a mix of loss of trust in official sources, (quite reasonable) misandry, love for the drama... And in all of this, I still believe Clancy should get the insanity plea. There was a case in the country where I live that happened about twenty years ago, and the poor woman who ended up in jail is still used as the butt of the joke of memes about hating kids.
