Postpartum Psychosis and Criminal Responsibility | Boston News
Description
In a chilling courtroom drama, Lindsay Clancy faces life in prison for allegedly killing her three young children — but her defense argues she was consumed by postpartum psychosis, voices commanding her to harm her kids and herself, just 19 days after leaving a psychiatric hospital. Prosecutors say she acted with intent, while her ex-husband, who discovered the scene, now says he forgives her — seeing her as sick, not guilty. As jurors prepare to tour the family’s home, the case exposes the brutal reality of untreated postpartum mental illness and the legal gray area of criminal responsibility when sanity is shattered.
