Lindsay Clancy Trial: Was It Psychosis Or Premeditated Murder? [heQnDa0Emtd]
Both sides agree Lindsay Clancy killed her three children. The question now before a Massachusetts jury is whether she was criminally responsible for their deaths. During opening statements, defense attorney Kevin Reddington argued Clancy was suffering from postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder, conditions he says were worsened by antidepressants prescribed after the birth of her third child. Prosecutor Shanan Buckingham offered a starkly different account, telling jurors Clancy acted “intentionally, rationally and swiftly” after sending her husband out on errands. Clancy, who remains paralyzed after jumping from a second-story window, became emotional as attorneys discussed her children. If convicted of murder, she faces life in prison without parole. A verdict of not guilty due to lack of criminal responsibility would result in her commitment to a state mental health facility. #LindsayClancy #TrueCrime #Massachusetts #PostpartumPsychosis
