{"product_id":"103005","title":"Crimes of the Century CLE: The Lindsay Clancy Trial - Investigation, Trial Strategy, Forensics, and Ethics","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn a January evening in 2023, inside a quiet home on Summer Street in Duxbury, Massachusetts, a young mother did the unthinkable—and then tried to end her own life by leaping from a second-story window. Lindsay Clancy survived the fall, but the injuries left her paralyzed from the waist down. Her three children—Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and baby Callan, just 8 months old—did not survive. What followed was not a whodunit, but something arguably more unsettling: a case where the facts of what happened were never seriously in dispute, and everything hinged on the question of why. Was this a calculated act, or a mind shattered by an illness few fully understand?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the time Clancy's trial opened in Plymouth Superior Court in July 2026, the case had already become a flashpoint in the national conversation around postpartum mental illness. Her defense leaned entirely into an insanity plea, calling psychiatric experts to testify that she was in the grip of postpartum psychosis—an exceedingly rare but well-documented condition—at the moment she acted. Prosecutors countered with their own battery of mental health experts, arguing she knew exactly what she was doing. Add to that a legal skirmish over a journalist's notes from an interview with Clancy's husband, and a jury deadlocked after days of deliberation —and you have a trial that plays out less like a courtroom drama and more like a real-time referendum on where the line between illness and culpability actually sits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis class dissects the Lindsay Clancy case as a masterclass in trying an insanity defense: how attorneys wage a battle of dueling experts, how they humanize—or fail to humanize—a client accused of the unthinkable, and how they navigate a media environment hungry for a verdict before the jury has one. We'll walk through the trial strategy on both sides, the ethical tightropes counsel had to walk, and the practice lessons litigators can take into their own high-stakes, high-scrutiny cases.
