Days seven and eight of the Lindsay Clancy trial brought the jury toxicology results, DNA findings, testimony from the children’s former nanny, friends and relatives, and deeply difficult medical evidence concerning the murders of Cora, Dawson and Callan Clancy. In this episode, I explain what that testimony added to the prosecution’s case, what it may have handed to the defense, and why the emotional force of this trial may become as important as the legal arguments over criminal responsibility. I also examine a harder question of whether a public murder trial is the best available form of justice when nobody disputes who killed these three children, but the parties sharply disagree about whether their mother was legally responsible because of psychosis. Finally, I look at the decision to have two women prosecute this case and why it would be irresponsible to assume that female prosecutors, or female jurors re naturally less sympathetic to postpartum mental illness. What matters is how the evidence is framed, how credibility is built, and whether the jury can separate the horror of the result from the legal question it must answer.
