Lindsay Clancy: What 'Not Guilty' Means

Lindsay Clancy admitted she killed her three children. That fact isn't on trial anymore — what happens to her next is. Nine women and three men began deliberating her case at Plymouth Superior Court on August 27 and spent more than three and a half hours without reaching a decision. Five verdict options are on the table: first-degree murder, second-degree murder, manslaughter, not criminally responsible, or not guilty, each carrying a drastically different outcome for a mother whose defense hinges entirely on postpartum psychosis. A not-criminally-responsible verdict doesn't mean freedom — it means indefinite commitment to a state psychiatric facility. Andrea Yates got that same verdict twenty years ago and is still hospitalized. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down what each possible outcome actually looks like, and whether a jury made mostly of mothers can bring itself to send another mother to prison for life. At the same time, a separate story has spread online — thousands of people convinced Lindsay's ex-husband Patrick is somehow the real culprit, despite her own admission and surveillance footage placing him outside the home. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta, who watched Patrick testify from inside the courtroom, addresses whether any of that theory holds up. Both Lindsay and Patrick have filed separate lawsuits against her medical providers, setting up a civil case that could contradict whatever this jury ultimately decides.
