马萨诸塞州母亲林赛·克兰西（Lindsay Clancy）被控于2023年1月24日勒死三名年幼子女。该案在普利茅斯高等法院的审判已进入第五周，并即将开始结案陈词 1。本案的核心争议聚焦于被告的精神状态：检方主张克兰西作案时有预谋且清楚自己的行为是错误的，而辩方则坚称她因患有产后精神病而缺乏刑事责任能力 1。
克兰西被控杀害了5岁的科拉（Cora）、3岁的道森（Dawson）以及8个月大的卡兰（Callan），她已基于缺乏刑事责任能力的原因作出无罪辩护 1。在庭审期间，检方共传唤了超过70名证人，辩方传唤了10名证人，且有多名心理专家出庭作证 1。其中，法医精神病学家格雷戈里·萨索夫博士（Dr. Gregory Saathoff）在作证时表示，他不相信克兰西关于“有声音命令她杀人”的说法 1。若被定罪谋杀，克兰西将面临强制终身监禁；但若陪审团最终裁定她因缺乏刑事责任能力而无罪，她可能被送往精神病院 1。
Closing arguments are scheduled to begin in the Massachusetts trial of Lindsay Clancy, who is accused of strangling her three young children on January 24, 2023 1. The victims were 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Callan 1. The proceedings at Plymouth Superior Court have now entered their fifth week 1. Clancy has pleaded not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility 1.
The central dispute in the case revolves around Clancy's mental state, with the defense arguing she lacked criminal responsibility due to postpartum psychosis, and the prosecution contending she planned the killings and understood they were wrong 1. Throughout the trial, the prosecution called more than 70 witnesses, while the defense presented 10 1. Multiple psychological experts have testified, including forensic psychiatrist Dr. Gregory Saathoff, who stated he did not believe Clancy's claim that voices commanded her to kill her children 1. If convicted of murder, Clancy faces mandatory life in prison, whereas a not guilty verdict based on a lack of criminal responsibility could result in her being committed to a psychiatric facility 1.
