As Lindsay Clancy’s triple murder trial begins in Massachusetts, prosecutors say the former labor and delivery nurse deliberately sent her husband away before strangling five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson and eight-month-old Callan with exercise bands. Her defense says she was suffering from severe postpartum psychosis, heard a male voice commanding her to kill the children and herself, and was not criminally responsible. Could the Andrea Yates case reveal how Lindsay Clancy’s insanity defense will unfold? In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield sits down exclusively with Wendell Odom Jr., one of the attorneys who represented Andrea Yates, to examine the striking parallels between two of the country’s most devastating maternal murder cases.
