## Resource

Type "another Lindsay Clancy" into a search bar and watch how fast it autocompletes. That phrase now follows every headline about a mother and dead children — and it might be doing more damage than the case that inspired it. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, was on trial for the January 24, 2023 killings of Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months, allegedly strangled with exercise resistance bands inside the family's home. She's charged with three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, and has pleaded not guilty. Her attorney's insanity defense leaned on documented postpartum psychosis and, reportedly, psychiatric overmedication — a hospital that allegedly saw the warning signs and didn't act. Clancy survived a suicide attempt after the killings and has been paralyzed from the waist down since. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands when it happened. After five weeks, eighty-plus witnesses, and three hundred exhibits, the jury told the judge three times they couldn't agree. Her attorney tried to remove a holdout juror; the state's highest court said no. The judge declared a mistrial. Here's where it gets bigger than one case. Andrea Yates was the shorthand before Clancy — convicted, then found not guilty by reason of insanity on retrial. Roughly two-thirds of mothers who kill their children had a documented mental health history, and researchers say a large share were symptomatic at the time. More than twenty countries legally separate postpartum psychiatric crisis from premeditated murder. The United States doesn't. Tony breaks down what "another Lindsay Clancy" actually costs the next family standing where Clancy's stood, and why the comparison itself might be part of the failure.
