Mom Accused of Killing Son in Case 'Eerily Similar' to Lindsay Clancy
Clancy is currently on trial for their deaths and the case has captured national attention as her defense rests on not guilty by reason of insanity. While the facts of the two cases differ significantly, both have centered on questions about severe mental illness, competency, criminal responsibility, and whether psychiatric disorders can absolve defendants of legal culpability. Clancy's case has called attention to the lack of adequate maternal health care and the struggles women encounter postpartum.
