A forensic psychologist hired by prosecutors testified Monday that Clancy killed her children to prevent their suffering after her own suicide, rejecting her claim of hallucinations. The defense maintains she suffered acute postpartum psychosis. Clancy, 36, has pleaded not guilty to murder charges in the January 2023 deaths of her children, aged 8 months to 5 years. She remains paralyzed after jumping from a window following the killings.
