  Speaker 2: where a jury must decide if 36-year-old former labor and
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: delivery nurse Lindsay Clancy is criminally responsible for fatally strangling
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: her three young children in January 2023. Over five weeks
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: of testimony in what has been called America's saddest murder trial,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: the emotional proceedings have refocused national attention on postpartum mental
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: health care. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington argues Clancy suffered from

  Speaker 2: severe postpartum psychosis, pointing to her extreme suicide attempt immediately
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: following the killings when she jumped from a second-story window,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Reddington insists Clancy
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: was reaching out for help through hospital stays and hotlines,

• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Sprague told jurors that Clancy had an abundance of care
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: and mental health resources, as reported by East Idaho News.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: This wasn't a woman suffering from a lack of care,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: a lack of resources. She had an abundance of help,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: an abundance of care. She had all of that and more.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: And she was asking for help.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: She was.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: She wanted help. She wanted to get better. But she
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: wanted to get better on her own terms, doing things
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: her way, the way she thought she should do them.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: And as a nurse, she knew that's not the right
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: way to approach it.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Sprague argued that Clancy calculated the exact time her husband
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: would be away picking up dinner and running pharmacy errands
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: before carrying out the fatal acts. The prosecution presented a
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: harrowing picture of the basement crime scene during closing arguments.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: She killed them and she left them there on the
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: floor with the bands around their necks. She didn't bring
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: them up to their beds and put them with their
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: favorite stuffed animal and cover them up gently and lovingly,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: leaving them peacefully there.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: No.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: She left them discarded on the basement floor like broken
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: toys because she was done.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Playing the game.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: You know to a moral certainty she is guilty.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: That clip from our friends at East Idaho News. The
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: jury must now determine whether Clancy was legally insane at
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: the time of the killings or criminally responsible for the
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: tragic deaths of her three children. More crime and justice
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: news after this. In Pennsylvania, a family is demanding answers
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: after 22-year-old college baseball player Glenwood Bubba Pisher IV was
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: shot and killed by police after accidentally trying to enter
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: the wrong home. Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele confirmed
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: the fatal shooting occurred early Sunday morning in Upper Potts
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Grove Township. Pisher had been out celebrating a friend's birthday

  Speaker 4: going out to celebrate and bar hop. There was parents
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: there to drive him around, so no one was drinking
• 3:31
