林赛·克兰西因2023年1月在马萨诸塞州勒死三个孩子而受审[1]。被害人为她的三个子女——卡伦、道森和科拉·克兰西，年龄分别为8个月至5岁[1]。克兰西在位于达克斯伯里的家中地下室勒死孩子后从二楼窗户跳下，目前腰部以下瘫痪[1]。
审判的焦点集中在她杀害儿童前数周在麦克林医院的精神病住院经历上[1]。克兰西于2023年1月3日至1月5日在麦克林医院接受治疗[1]。控方强调，精神科医生艾丽亚·古德哈特证词指出"她从未表示过有伤害他人的想法"[1]。辩方则主张克兰西患有未被正确诊断的躁郁症和产后精神病，并因不当用药导致病情恶化[1]。
克兰西若被判谋杀罪，将面临终身监禁不假释；若因刑事责任能力不足被判无罪，将被送入州精神卫生设施[1]。
Lindsay Clancy is on trial for the January 2023 deaths of her three children—Callan, Dawson, and Cora Clancy, who were between eight months and five years old—in Duxbury, Massachusetts [1]. After strangling the children in the basement of her home, Clancy jumped from a second-floor window and is now paralyzed below the waist [1]. The trial has focused intensely on her psychiatric hospitalization at McLean Hospital from January 3 to 5, 2023, just days before the killings [1].
Prosecutors have emphasized that during her hospital stay, Clancy denied harboring thoughts of harming others, with psychiatrist Alia Goodheart testifying that "she had never stated that she had any thoughts of harming anybody else" [1]. The defense, however, contends that Clancy suffered from bipolar disorder and postpartum psychosis that were not properly diagnosed, and that inappropriate medication worsened her condition [1]. If convicted of murder, Clancy faces life imprisonment without parole; should she be found not guilty by reason of insanity, she would be committed to a state mental health facility [1].
