Lindsay Clancy's case generated strong debate on social media worldwide, after a judge declared that the jury was unable to reach a unanimous decision, leading to the dismissal of the trial. Lindsay Clancy is the mother accused of killing her three children.
It was precisely after the trial was dismissed that an image presented as being a Fox News report began circulating on social media. This image claimed that Donald Trump had issued an executive order to apply the death penalty to Lindsay Clancy.
However, this is false information. SIC Verifica is checking this claim, confirming that the image in circulation is a forgery and does not correspond to a real Fox News report.
The situation illustrates how fake news can spread rapidly on social media, especially in cases that generate great public attention and debate.
