Temporary Insanity
Inside a courtroom, multiple members of the jury and the baliff are bloodied and seemingly dead. The defendant, who has a crazy grin on his face, is sitting with a bloody knife. The defense's lead attorney is addressing the living members of the jury. The prosecutor and judge are looking on in shock. Text on image: "Ladies and gentlemen of the remaining jury, clearly my client's fit of insanity was only temporary given that he's not actively killing anyone at this moment."

Notes

The Lindsay Clancy trial is certainly an interesting window into American (and more broadly western, probably) society at this point in history. Given the facts, it's not something I would have expected to be controversial. We've had a number of trials recently that had stark dividing lines, but those lines were almost purely drawn between left-wing and right-wing. This one is a little different (though certainly there is a political correlation).

Myself being male and with a right-wing (meaning hierarchical, not conservative), my opinion is unremarkable. She's a murderer, she murdered innocent, helpless children in brutal, painful fashion, and she deserves worse than what she delivered. The mindset of those who side with her is completely alien to me. I cannot even begin to empathize with it in any way, and I fear the future of civilization if it is as common as the media is leading me to believe.
