Lindsay Clancy trial Day 18 live stream, live updates
The defense has rested in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, a Duxbury mother accused of killing her three children in 2023. The trial is now moving into the rebuttal phase, focusing on whether Clancy was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time of the incident.
Why it matters
The case is a high-profile examination of the intersection between mental health, specifically postpartum psychosis, and criminal responsibility.
After calling 10 witnesses in five days, the Duxbury mother’s defense rested Friday, and prosecutors called their first rebuttal witness. Friday’s experts testified to the issue at the heart of the trial: was Clancy experiencing psychosis when she killed her kids? Plus, as closing arguments approach, we look at what the jury will need to weigh at the end of a weekslong trial, and a juror in the Karen Read trial shares her insight on deliberating in a complex, high-profile case.
Editor's note: Testimony in this trial may be graphic and difficult for some viewers to hear.
