Was She Mad or Murderous | Boston News

The Lindsay Clancy trial enters its fourth week with a chilling core: both sides agree she killed her three children by strangulation, but the battle is over whether she was sane—or suffering from undiagnosed psychosis—when she did it. The prosecution wrapped up with 71 witnesses, painting Clancy as in control, even cheerful on the day of the killings, while her ex-husband testified she seemed fine. Legal experts debate how well they convinced the jury. The defense counters with medical records and testimony showing her mental health spiraled, including missed diagnoses and ignored warning signs like calls to suicide hotlines. Clancy, who admitted to the murders and later tried to kill herself, claims insanity due to untreated bipolar disorder and postpartum psychosis. The prosecution argues this was a calculated act, possibly suicide by proxy; the defense says it was a psychotic breakdown. The jury must decide: was this murder—or madness?
