The Lindsay Clancy murder trial is nearing its final and most consequential stage after explosive rebuttal testimony, conflicting mental health diagnoses and a dramatic defense demand for a mistrial. Prosecutors argue that Clancy was severely depressed and suicidal, but not psychotic, when she strangled her three children, Cora, Dawson and Callan. Her defense maintains that postpartum psychosis left her unable to understand or control her actions. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the prosecution’s final push against Lindsay Clancy’s insanity defense, the questions surrounding her alleged command hallucination, the inconsistencies raised in court and the religious testimony the judge ordered jurors to disregard. With closing arguments and deliberations approaching, the jury must decide whether Clancy was legally insane or fully criminally responsible for the deaths of her children.
