Lindsay Clancy Trial Nears Closing Arguments

🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
The defense's emphasis on command hallucinations may push jurors toward a lesser charge, but the prosecution's rebuttal aims to undermine the insanity plea.
💡 Why it matters
This trial could influence how courts weigh postpartum psychosis as a defense in cases of filicide.

The defense rested in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial after presenting witnesses on her postpartum psychosis and command hallucinations. Prosecutors have called rebuttal witnesses, and closing arguments could begin Monday.
