Postpartum Psychosis and the Clancy Trial | Savannah News

Jury selection begins in the harrowing trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mom accused of murdering her three young children in January 2023. Facing murder charges but not guilty pleas, Clancy’s defense argues she suffered from postpartum psychosis — a rare, severe mental illness that caused hallucinations and delusions. Prosecutors push back, calling the killings premeditated. The case dives deep into mental health, with Clancy’s husband testifying for both sides — a man who still sees his wife as loving, now seeking peace for her. As 18 jurors are chosen, this trial promises to be one of the most emotionally charged of the year, exposing the devastating toll of untreated mental illness on a family.
