📰 News we're reading
• 3 reasons prosecution says Lindsay Clancy should be convicted (ctpost.com) — Residents may be following the Lindsay Clancy trial, which centers on the deaths of three children in the family’s Duxbury home and whether their mother was legally responsible despite serious mental illness. Prosecutors argue she carefully planned the killings, citing phone records, errands, and expert testimony that she still knew right from wrong. Jurors will weigh these claims against the defense’s postpartum psychosis argument when deliberations resume. 
• What happens if Lindsay Clancy is found not guilty? (nj.com subscription) — Jurors are still deliberating in the high-profile case involving three children killed at a Duxbury home, and experts say a verdict of not guilty by reason of mental illness would likely mean long-term psychiatric commitment, not freedom. Massachusetts law requires court oversight and repeated evaluations before any possible release, so the legal and medical process could stretch on for years.
