Prosecutors in Clancy case say America’s medical system is ‘not on trial here’ | National

PLYMOUTH, Mass. (AP) — Jurors in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial in Plymouth, Massachusetts, are hearing closing arguments Wednesday, before deciding whether the former labor and delivery nurse is criminally responsible for killing her three children in 2023.

While both sides agree she killed her children, Clancy’s defense team argued she suffered from postpartum psychosis, with defense attorney Kevin Reddington stating that “ lousy medical care ” exacerbated her condition. Prosecutors at the Plymouth County District Attorney’s office argued she intentionally planned the killings and that the nation’s healthcare system is “ not on trial here.”
