Clancy Trial Nears Verdict as Experts Clash Over Postpartum Psychosis

After 21 days and more than 70 witnesses, testimony in Lindsay Clancy’s triple-murder trial wrapped up with prosecutors and defense experts disputing whether her actions were caused by postpartum psychosis or a bipolar disorder, and whether she could be held criminally responsible. Closing arguments are set for Thursday, with jurors to decide if she’s guilty of three counts of first-degree murder or not criminally responsible, which would lead to commitment to a mental health facility with periodic reviews; a conviction could result in life in prison without parole. The trial featured dueling expert testimony, including concerns over command hallucinations and the timing of her mental illness, and included a brief mistrial motion related to religious references during testimony.
