What went wrong with the triple infanticide by mother in 2023 aka the Clancy murder case in Massachusetts

A lot! The news reporting about this case was incompetent and atrocious! Very lazy journalism!

Caveat I am not familiar with the details of the case. I did not follow the case very closely.

Here are some of the issues:

  • Why did the prosecutor not indict the husband as well? What did the husband know and what did he do about it? My guess is the prosecutor in this case was a dilettante!
  • When did the claimed postpartum psychosis first occur in the defendant? Only after the birth of the third child? If it occured after the first child, why did she have two more children?
  • What kind of suicide attempt was it that the defendant committed? Very few news reports mentioned this at all that she cut her wrists and jumped out of the window after the infanticide.
