While prosecutors called it a cold-blooded murder, defense argued she suffered from postpartum psychosis, leaving her out of control. The case echoes Lauren Dickason’s New Zealand trial, where infanticide laws — which exist in places like NZ, Australia, and Canada but not the U.S. — could have offered a different outcome. These laws, rooted in historical mercy for mothers suffering postpartum mental collapse, allow manslaughter convictions instead of murder, often avoiding prison. In Dickason’s case, despite broader infanticide protections, the jury convicted her of murder because her depression didn’t meet legal thresholds — though judges can still impose lighter sentences. The Clancy case underscores how limited jury options can be when mental illness intersects with justice. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
