Feminists started donating money online to the family of infanticide Lindsay Clancy after her trial was declared a mistrial due to the actions of a hero who was part of the jury and refused to acquit the defendant.
On Friday, the day the mistrial was announced, Brandee Mulligan, the organizer of the GoFundMe campaign and a supporter of Clancy, announced that nearly $1.2 million had been raised for the filicide and her family, and that the new goal is to reach $3 million.
"I have decided to raise the goal of this fundraising campaign as this process has dragged on, and so has the time that Paula and Mike will be away from their home, continuing to incur costs to be there for their daughter every day," Mulligan proudly wrote. "The original purpose of this fundraising has not changed: it is simply to lift a burden off their shoulders while they continue to support their family."
