美国马萨诸塞州女性Lindsay Clancy因2023年1月杀害三名幼子而受审，案件近期进入庭审阶段。1首先接触现场的人员已出庭作证，陈述他们发现遇害儿童时的情况。1
遇害的三名儿童分别是3岁的Dawson、5岁的Cora和8个月大的Callan。1Clancy用运动带勒死这三名儿童，随后从二楼跳窗试图自杀。1案发时Clancy出院仅19天。1
Clancy的辩护律师主张其患有产后精神病，称被告患有双极情感障碍，出院后开具的抗抑郁药物加重了病情。1律师声称案发当天Clancy听到声音告诉她"这是你最后的机会。杀死孩子这样你可以杀死自己"。1检控方则认为她有意识地实施了犯罪。1
若Clancy被定罪谋杀罪，将面临终身监禁不得假释；若因缺乏刑事责任能力被判无罪，将被送入州精神卫生机构。1Clancy的前夫Patrick Clancy已表示原谅前妻，将其视为患病而非邪恶。1
Lindsay Clancy is on trial in Massachusetts for the January 2023 deaths of her three young children.1 First responders have testified at trial, describing what they discovered at the scene.1 The children killed were Dawson, age 3; Cora, age 5; and Callan, 8 months old.1 Clancy allegedly strangled each child with an exercise band and then jumped from a second-story window in an attempted suicide.1
The defense argues that Clancy suffered from postpartum psychosis, claiming she had a history of bipolar disorder and that antidepressant medication prescribed after her discharge from the hospital worsened her condition.1 According to the defense account, Clancy reported hearing voices on the day of the incident telling her "this is your last chance. Kill the children so you can kill yourself."1 Clancy was discharged from the hospital just 19 days before the killings.1 The prosecution maintains that she acted with full awareness and intentionality.1
If convicted of murder, Clancy faces life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.1 If she is found not guilty due to lacking criminal responsibility, she would be committed to a state mental health facility.1 Her ex-husband, Patrick Clancy, has stated that he has forgiven her and views her as sick rather than evil.1
