Trial by Social Media: The Lindsay Clancy Tragedy

TUE 1 SEP - A once-devoted mum succumbs to psychosis and commits an unspeakable crime... or did she.

Brendan Malone joins Andrew Urquhart to reflect on how a horrific tragedy has become internet fodder for amateur sleuths and online mob trials. From the devolution of true crime documentaries to gendered assumptions in public sympathy, he urges a balanced response that spurns baseless gossip and holds both compassion and accountability.
