Lindsay Clancy killed her children. Why do many women support her? – Stateside with Kai and Carter https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2026/aug/21/lindsay-clancy-killed-her-children-why-do-many-women-support-her-stateside-with-kai-and-carter #MaternalMortality #UsNews #UsJusticeSystem

Lindsay Clancy killed her children. Why do many women support her? – Stateside with Kai and Carter
By Hosted by Carter Sherman with Jenna Amatulli, produced by Monica Espitia, edited by Anabel Bacon, engineered by Ivan Kuraev

The trial of Lindsay Clancy, a former nurse accused of murdering her three children, is wrapping up its fifth week. On Friday morning, the defense rested, and the public attention to the case is at a fever-pitch — especially on social media. Clancy, 36, does not deny that she strangled her children, but has pleaded not guilty due to lack of criminal responsibility, also known as an insanity defense. She argues that she was in the throes of postpartum psychosis, a rare and devastating condition that can go unrecognized and untreated. Host Carter Sherman speaks with Jenna Amatulli, deputy head of news for Guardian US, about how the case has renewed attention on the fundamental shortcomings in the US's maternal healthcare system, and about why Clancy's story has captivated – and polarized – so many people
