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

Lindsay Clancy, a Massachusetts mother, is on trial for the deaths of her three young children, aged eight months to five years, whom she killed using exercise bands before attempting suicide by jumping from a window, which left her paralyzed. Her defense attorneys argue she was experiencing postpartum psychosis at the time and cannot be held criminally responsible, while prosecutors contend she made a deliberate, calculated decision to murder her children despite being mentally ill. A jury of nine women and three men began deliberations after five weeks of testimony, with potential outcomes ranging from first-degree murder conviction (mandatory life without parole) to a finding of not guilty by reason of insanity (commitment to psychiatric hospital).
