PLYMOUTH, Mass. (AP) \u2014 Jurors in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

While both sides agree she killed her children, Clancy\u2019s defense team argued she suffered from postpartum psychosis, with defense attorney Kevin Reddington stating that \u201c lousy medical care<\/a> \u201d exacerbated her condition. Prosecutors at the Plymouth County District Attorney\u2019s office argued she intentionally planned the killings and that the nation\u2019s healthcare system is \u201c not on trial here<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n
