The trial of Lindsay Clancy, accused of murdering her three young children with exercise bands, has begun in Massachusetts, sparking national attention. Prosecutors say she committed the killings in January last year, while the defense argues she was in a severe postpartum psychosis episode and not criminally responsible — she was on 13 psychiatric medications. Her ex-husband, Patrick Clancy, is testifying for both sides, recounting the horrific 911 call after finding the children dead, and has also filed a wrongful death suit against doctors he claims overmedicated her. Clancy survived a suicide attempt and is now paralyzed. A judge has sealed graphic evidence, including photos and the 911 recording, from public view. The case, expected to be long and emotionally wrenching, pits the prosecution’s claim of deliberate murder against the defense’s argument of mental illness and diminished responsibility.
