Jury deliberating in trial of Lindsay Clancy, US woman accused of killing her children

A US mother, Lindsay Clancy, stands accused of murdering her three children, aged between eight months and five years, in Massachusetts. The jury now weighs the evidence as they deliberate Clancy's fate. Her defense team argues that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time of the killings. Clancy, who is wheelchair-bound following a failed suicide attempt, maintains her innocence, claiming that her actions were driven by a mental illness.

The prosecution contends that Clancy had the intent to kill her children deliberately. The jury, consisting of nine women and three men, have completed their first day of deliberations and will reconvene to continue their discussions on Friday. The outcome of this trial could result in a mandatory life sentence with no possibility of parole if Clancy is found guilty of first-degree murder. Alternatively, she could face a lesser conviction or not be found guilty at all.
