Massachusetts jurors grilled on mental health before Lindsay Clancy trial

More than 300 potential jurors in Lindsay Clancy’s Massachusetts triple-murder trial were questioned with an extensive, intimate questionnaire about postpartum depression/mental illness, family ties to witnesses, and whether they could remain impartial while reviewing autopsy photos; several cried and were excused as an 18-person pool was seated, 12 to deliberate. The defense says the goal is fair jurors for a case that could last up to two months and involve hundreds of witnesses, with the outcome hinging on whether Clancy’s alleged postpartum psychosis affected her conduct.
