Lindsay Clancy murder trial closes testimony; closing arguments Thursday

In a Massachusetts courtroom, a trial nears its verdict that forces society to reckon with the fragile boundary between illness and culpability. Lindsay Clancy, a mother who admits strangling her three young children in January 2023, asks a jury to weigh whether postpartum psychosis and overmedication dissolved her criminal will entirely. After 85 witnesses and weeks of testimony, closing arguments will begin Thursday — and with them, the community's attempt to find language adequate to a grief that resists easy judgment.
