  • Final witnesses are expected to give evidence in the Massachusetts murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, who is accused of killing her three young children in January 2023.
  • Prosecution experts testified that while Clancy was severely mentally ill, she was not experiencing acute psychosis and was capable of distinguishing right from wrong.
  • The defense argues that Clancy should not be held criminally responsible because she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and had no appreciation of the wrongfulness of her acts.
