Lindsay Clancy Suffered 'Command Hallucinations' When She Killed Her Children, Court Told

A forensic psychiatrist took the stand as the final defence witness in the trial of Lindsay Clancy, testifying about the severe effects of postpartum psychosis. The expert stated Clancy was experiencing command hallucinations at the time she killed her children. Postpartum psychosis is a rare but severe psychiatric condition that can develop after childbirth, sometimes causing delusions and hallucinations. The defence argued the condition robbed Clancy of her ability to understand the nature of her actions. The prosecution previously presented evidence contesting the nature and severity of the condition.
