Lindsay Clancy’s Defense Rests in Trial Over Whether Postpartum Psychosis Led to Children’s Deaths

Lindsay Clancy’s defense has rested in a trial examining whether postpartum psychosis played a role in the deaths of her three children. Her lawyers have argued that a severe mental-health condition affected her judgment and actions at the time of the incident. Prosecutors dispute the defense’s interpretation and are expected to present their case before jurors begin deliberations. The proceedings have focused on Clancy’s medical history, treatment and mental state. The verdict will determine her criminal responsibility under Massachusetts law.
