@cnn: Former McLean Hospital social worker Emily Thorndike was called to court after her TikTok video went viral online for criticizing testimony about the facility. Judge William Sullivan ultimately decided not to allow Thorndike to testify before the jury, saying her testimony had “limited value” given that she had not worked there for some time before January 2023.

Hey so watch how you word things. She has not been found guilty of murdering her children so you need to say allegedly

She is 100% credible I have first experience at McLean there are no therapist the social worker is only focused on insurance and you see your doctor for about three minutes every morning and weekends there’s only one doctor. The therapy sessions are often useless and juvenile led by facilitators rather than therapist

😭Yh , Lindsay is cooked lol. The defence will rest tomorrow and they didn’t bring any credible witnesses. The MPGTJs still think he’s going to call Patrick as a witness but he won’t . And they just confirmed beyond doubt that Lindsay did it not Patrick .

This case is a reminder that the courtroom should be guided by facts, evidence, and fairness not social media trends. Whether you agree or disagree with the decision, justice works best when every voice is weighed carefully. What's your take?

I have two things to say I applaud Emily and question the judge’s comments as he doesn’t know how system is broken in healthcare organizations sometimes!
