Clancy trial: jury weighs postpartum psychosis vs. murder

Lindsay Clancy, 35, admits killing her three children in Duxbury, Massachusetts, in January 2023. Her defense cites postpartum psychosis — a rare, severe mental break after childbirth — driven by bipolar disorder, a psychiatric hospitalization 19 days prior, and voices urging her to kill. A murder conviction means life without parole; a finding of no criminal responsibility means commitment to a mental health facility.
