The murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother accused of killing her three children in 2023, has heard evidence from her personal journals and medical records. Clancy's writings described severe parenting stress, anxiety, insomnia and a feeling of being overwhelmed. Prosecution and defence disagree on her mental state. Defence says she suffered postpartum psychosis and was not criminally responsible. Prosecutors argue she acted deliberately. After the children's deaths, Clancy attempted suicide by cutting her wrists and neck and jumping from a window, causing spinal injury and paralysis. She is now paralysed from the waist down. The trial continues at Plymouth Superior Court.
