Jurors went home for the weekend Friday with deliberations set to resume Monday morning in the trial of Lindsay Clancy. Clancy has admitted to killing her three young children, but is arguing she was suffering from postpartum psychosis. CBS News' Shanelle Kaul has more.
The jury in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial asked to see evidence related to her case, including pill bottles and a knife. According to CBS News, this request was made on Friday as the jury continued to deliberate.
Lindsay Clancy, a 36-year-old former nurse, has admitted to strangling her three children at the family's Duxbury home in January 2023. Her defense team argues that she was experiencing severe postpartum psychosis and should not be held criminally responsible, while prosecutors claim she knew what she was doing and planned the killings. The jury began deliberating on August 27 after over three weeks of testimony.
If convicted of first-degree murder, Clancy would face life in prison without parole, as per Hindustan Times - World News. Alternatively, if she is found not criminally responsible due to her mental state, she would be sent to a state psychiatric hospital, where her condition could be reviewed over time.
