Trial of Lindsay Clancy Highlights Postpartum Psychosis and Child Deaths in MassachusettsPreviousNext

Lindsay Clancy, a Massachusetts mother charged with murdering her three children in 2023, is on trial with a defense citing postpartum psychosis to argue she was not criminally responsible. Witnesses, including family and colleagues, described Clancy as a loving mother struggling with mental health. Digital forensic evidence and internet searches suggest premeditation, while a GoFundMe supports her parents amid trial expenses. The case has sparked public debate on maternal mental health and criminal accountability.
