Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestyleJurors in Plymouth County Superior Court completed a third day of deliberations on Monday without reaching a verdict in the trial of Lindsay Clancy, who is accused of killing her three children in 2023. Deliberations will resume Tuesday after five weeks of testimony from more than 70 prosecution witnesses and 10 defense witnesses, bringing national attention to maternal mental health after childbirth. Clancy's defense attorney argues she is not criminally responsible because she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and had lost her grip on reality, noting she had previously sought psychiatric treatment. Prosecutors contend that Clancy knew what she was doing and made a conscious choice to strangle her children before attempting suicide because she was depressed and tired of living. The jury can find Clancy guilty of murder or manslaughter, or acquit her if they find she was not in control of herself due to mental illness, with potential outcomes ranging from life in prison to commitment in a psychiatric facility.
