Mother Admits Killing Her Children but Says She Wasn't Criminally Responsible

Lindsay Clancy pleaded not guilty to murdering her three children — Cora, 5; Dawson, 3; Callan, 8 months — in January 2023. She doesn't deny strangling them. Her defense says postpartum psychosis, a severe mental illness that can strike after childbirth, left her unable to form the intent murder requires. Prosecutors call it a "calculated decision." Family described worsening hallucinations beforehand.
