Lindsay Clancy trial draws attention to postpartum care

Season 2026 Episode 176 | 7m 07s

Jurors are deliberating in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, a case that has raised questions about maternal mental healthcare. Clancy does not deny killing her children, but she pleaded not guilty, arguing she can’t be held criminally responsible because the murders occurred while she was suffering from postpartum psychosis. Amna Nawaz discussed more with Shelley Murphy of The Boston Globe.
