Lindsay Clancy: The murder trial dividing America

August 10, 2026Hosted by: Zara Seidler and Sam KoslowskiProduced by: Orla Maher

In a case that’s been dubbed “America’s saddest murder trial”, a 35-year-old woman has been accused of killing her three young children in the U.S. state of Massachusetts.
While prosecutors argue that Lindsay Clancy intentionally killed her three children at home, her lawyers argue she should not be held criminally responsible because she was experiencing a psychotic episode related to postpartum mental illness.
In today’s podcast, we’ll explain what we know about the case and why it’s divided people across the world.
