In January 2023, three young children died in their home in Duxbury, Massachusetts. Their mother, Lindsay Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse, was charged with murder. Her defense didn't contest that she caused their deaths, arguing instead that postpartum psychosis and medication left her not criminally responsible.
