Mental health under scrutiny as Clancy trial probes postpartum psychosis and treatment
Prosecutors in Lindsay Clancy’s Massachusetts murder trial questioned a psychiatrist involved in her McLean Hospital treatment and outlined her mental-health history, while the defense pushes an insanity claim and seeks to call additional witnesses. Days of testimony covered autopsy imagery, medications, DNA evidence, and Clancy’s journals, plus a former nanny’s account of parenting. The central question remains whether Clancy was legally sane when she killed her three children in 2023 and attempted suicide; judges are weighing defense motions as the case continues.
