## Resource

The Lindsay Clancy trial ended in a mistrial as the jury couldn’t reach a verdict, leaving her still hospitalized while prosecutors push for life without parole and defense attorneys argue she suffered from postpartum psychosis. The case reignited national debate on maternal mental health, echoing similarities with the Lauren Dickason trial in New Zealand — where infanticide laws led to a lesser sentence — but highlighting a critical U.S. legal gap: no infanticide statute means juries must choose between murder or insanity, forcing an agonizingly binary decision in cases of profound psychological crisis.
