re was not in her right mind.

Prosecutors argued that Clancy sent her then-husband Patrick Clancy out of their home to run errands so that she could strangle their three children with exercise bands in the basement before attempting to kill herself.

For 22 days, jurors heard testimony from nearly 100 witnesses: 10 for the defense, including Clancy's family and former mother-in-law, and more than 70 witnesses for the prosecution, including Patrick Clancy.

Both sides testified that Lindsay Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse, was suffering from postpartum depression after having their third child and had vocalized thoughts of harming herself and the kids. Witnesses also testified that she was a loving mother who cared deeply about her children.

While the defense painted a picture of a dedicated mother who wanted to get better for her children and  begged for help  from various doctors, prosecutors claimed that she wouldn't take the medications prescribed to her and that she wouldn't listen to the recommendations of psychiatrists and other health professionals.

Forensic psychiatrists for the prosecution testified that they believed Clancy was not in psychosis while killing the children, but was deeply depressed and suicidal, with one doctor claiming he believed she wanted to kill herself but didn't want to leave her children behind.

Clancy remains paralyzed from the waist down after using multiple methods, including cutting her wrists and neck before jumping from a second-story window, to try to end her life that night.
