Mass. triple-murder trial tests insanity defense amid postpartum mental-health claims

Lindsay Clancy, a 35-year-old former nurse, goes on trial in Massachusetts for the murder of her three children. Her defense argues she was suffering extreme mental illness—likely postpartum depression/psychosis—and should not be criminally responsible, a strategy the defense says is supported by her recent psychiatric treatment history; prosecutors may call expert witnesses and use the 911 call as evidence of mind-state and possible premeditation. If found not criminally responsible, she could be committed to a state psychiatric hospital rather than jailed. Her husband has joined lawsuits alleging medical providers failed to diagnose or treat her condition. The case hinges on whether the jury accepts the insanity defense, which experts say is a difficult and rare path.
