er case?

 This is a nightmare that's never gonna end,  attorney Rosemary Scapicchio said.

 We need to make sure that when there's postpartum or maternal mental health, that these doctors start listening to women,  Scapicchio said.  Because that's not what they're doing right now. And they're doing a disservice to the entire population of women that need care after they have a child. And it's so infuriating that not only do they not get care, but let's just talk about the names that they label women that are either depressed or have hormonal imbalances. They call them  baby blues.' Do you think for a second, if a man had an erectile dysfunction, they'd be calling it  penis blues'? No, because it minimizes what you're suffering from. And we're here to change that. 

Lindsay Clancy mistrial

The backstory:

Clancy never disputed that she strangled 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan Clancy with exercise bands. But her attorney said she had a rare condition called postpartum psychosis when she strangled her kids, then tried to take her own life in 2023.

Deeply anxious about a planned return to work, unable to sleep and experiencing what she described as a disturbing brain fog, Clancy sought care from experts in postpregnancy mood disorders, who prescribed multiple psychiatric medications.

Clancy's family members testified that she expressed concern about her mental health decline. Her former mother-in-law, Susan Clancy, described her as a  very nurturing, very loving mother  who was  begging for help. 

Her ex-husband Patrick Clancy, the trial's first witness, has said in past interviews that he forgives her and believes her actions were the result of mental illness.

Prosecutors said Clancy knew what she was doing when she contrived to get her husband out of the house by sending him to pick up medicine for one of their children and dinner for the family.

What's next:

Friday's mistrial, on the seventh day of deliberations, leaves the case unresolved. The prosecutor who originally decided to charge Clancy said there would not be an immediate decision about a second trial.
