Lindsay Clancy's diary entries were read aloud in court, showing her struggle with postpartum mental health. In one entry, she wrote 'I want to die' and described feeling 'drowning every day.' Two days after the killings, she asked doctors 'Is my body broken?' and wrote 'horrified' when asked about her mood. The prosecutor wearing a large white hair bow in court has drawn attention. Prosecutor Shanan Buckingham wore the bow as a nod to victim Cora's love of bows. Clancy, accused of killing her three children, has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. The prosecution argues she acted intentionally, while the defence says she was in a psychotic episode.
