The Trial of Lindsay Clancy - “She Was Begging for Help”

This week, Lindsay Clancy’s defence presented their case that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis when she killed her three children, and in their view, should not be criminally responsible for their deaths.

We examine the testimony from her family, including testimony from her own mother and former step-mother. We also heard Dr Paul Zeizel’s conclusion that she had bipolar disorder with postpartum psychosis, and could not appreciate the wrongfulness of her actions.
