Mamdani Gives 9/11 Ceremonial Pen To Aide Who Represented Al-Qaeda Operative – Page 5

Prosecutors have offered a dramatically different picture, arguing that Clancy understood exactly what she was doing, deliberately arranged for her then-husband Patrick Clancy to leave the house on errands and intentionally murdered the children before trying to take her own life.

Jurors heard competing psychiatrists reach sharply different conclusions about Clancy’s mental condition, while relatives, physicians and other witnesses described months of anxiety, insomnia, psychiatric medications and increasingly serious concerns leading up to the killings.

Clancy has pleaded not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility, leaving jurors to determine whether prosecutors proved murder or manslaughter or whether her mental illness legally prevented her from appreciating the wrongfulness of her actions.

If the jury finds Clancy criminally responsible, she could be convicted of murder or manslaughter, with a first-degree murder conviction potentially bringing life imprisonment without parole, while an acquittal on criminal-responsibility grounds could still result in confinement at a psychiatric facility if she is considered dangerous.

If jurors remain hopelessly divided, Sullivan could eventually declare a mistrial, leaving prosecutors to decide whether to put Clancy through another trial, pursue a negotiated resolution, or abandon the criminal prosecution.

Defense attorney Kevin Reddington said Tuesday that the jury’s willingness to continue deliberating encouraged him, telling reporters, “The fact that they have not said that they’re done is very, very heartening.”

Viral “Fox News” Claim Says Joe Biden, Jill Biden and Grandson Died in Plane Crash: What We Know A dramatic claim circulating online says that former U.S. President Joe Biden, his wife Jill Biden and one of their grandchildren have died in a plane crash near the Canadian border.

Instead, the claim appears to be circulating through social media…

The post is written in the style of a breaking-news alert and

begins with language such as “Just In” and “Fox News,” followed by the claim that the former president and members of his family “perish” in a plane crash.

The wording is designed to create an immediate sense of urgency.

But there is a major problem with the story:

There is no credible evidence currently confirming that Joe Biden, Jill Biden or a Biden grandchild died in such a crash.

A search of current reporting does not produce a credible Fox News report, government announcement, aviation authority statement or major news report confirming the alleged deaths.

Instead, the claim appears to be circulating through social media, where posts can be copied and reshared thousands of times before anyone verifies whether the underlying story is genuine.

That distinction is extremely important when the claim concerns the death of a former president and members of his family.

The Claim Spreads Online The wording of the viral post is particularly striking.

Canadian authorities would also be expected to provide information if…

It presents itself as a breaking-news announcement and attributes the information to Fox News. A Facebook post currently visible in search results repeats essentially the same claim, stating that former President Joe Biden, his wife and his grandson supposedly died in a plane crash “few minutes ago” near Canada.

But a social-media post saying that Fox News reported something is not the same thing as an actual Fox News report.

This is one of the most important lessons for readers navigating breaking news online.

Anyone can write “Fox News says” at the beginning of a Facebook post.

That does not mean Fox News actually published the story

That does not mean Fox News actually published the story.

For an extraordinary claim involving a former president, credible confirmation would normally be expected from multiple major news organizations and official sources.

That confirmation is absent here. Why the Claim Is So Serious False reports about celebrity deaths are unfortunately common.

False reports about political figures can be even more consequential.

A former U.S. president remains a major public figure whose death would generate enormous national and international coverage.
