Defense rests in Lindsay Clancy trial as prosecutors prep postpartum-psychosis rebuttal

The defense rested in Lindsay Clancy’s triple-murder trial after 10 witnesses discussed her mental illness and treatment prior to the killings; Clancy did not testify. Prosecutors will present rebuttal witnesses before closing arguments. The defense argues postpartum psychosis and lack of criminal responsibility, while prosecutors say she acted deliberately and sought quick fixes, manipulating providers. A conviction could bring life in prison; if found not guilty by reason of insanity, she would be committed to a psychiatric hospital. The case has sparked a national dialogue on maternal mental health.
