Lindsay Clancy murder trial collapses

from BBC · host BBC

The trial of Lindsay Clancy, accused of murdering her three children, has collapsed as the jury failed to reach a verdict. Clancy’s defence did not deny that she killed her children, but pleaded not guilty, with her lawyers arguing she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and should not be held criminally responsible. The case has transfixed America and spurred public debate on maternal mental health. Also on the programme: Nigel Farage addresses Reform UK’s members as his party faces allegations of trying to get around electoral law; and we hear why the stellar career of comedy actor Richard O’Sullivan, who has died at the age of 82, came to a premature end.
