The trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts woman who admitted killing her three children in January 2023, has entered its second week. Prosecutors argue the killings were intentional, while the defence says she suffered postpartum psychosis and lacked criminal responsibility. First responders testified they found the children with marks around their necks and Lindsay semi-conscious outside with neck and wrist injuries. A doctor said her body temperature was 82.1 degrees Fahrenheit and she had spinal fractures. Defence attorneys say she heard a commanding voice telling her to kill the children.
