A jury in Massachusetts has begun deliberations in the trial of Lindsay Clancy, who is accused of murdering her three young children by strangulation. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder and faces a potential life sentence if convicted. During closing arguments, defense attorneys argued that Clancy should not be held criminally responsible because she was suffering from extreme mental illness and postpartum psychosis. One lawyer stated that her mind was gone at the time of the killings. Outside the trial, members of the pink t-shirt movement have demonstrated to highlight a lack of medical solutions for Clancy's mental health. Center-left sources frame the event as a failure of the medical system and a matter of solidarity with the defendant, while center sources focus on the legal arguments regarding her mental state and the status of the jury proceedings.
