Jury deliberations expected in Lindsay Clancy murder trial

bostonglobe.com

Testimony resumes Monday in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, charged in the deaths of her three children, with jury deliberations expected this week. Closing arguments could come as early as Tuesday. Clancy asserts an insanity defense, claiming postpartum psychosis drove her to strangle her children in January 2023. Prosecutors argue her actions were calculated. Psychiatrist Dr. Avram Mack, a prosecution rebuttal witness, testified Friday she knew her actions were wrong. Massachusetts law requires the defense to prove Clancy couldn't appreciate her actions' wrongfulness or conform to legal requirements. The trial has drawn international attention, with thousands watching online.
