The burden will be on prosecution to prove LC is guilty and was sane at the time of the murders. If it gets to trial and a jury believes she had postpartum psychosis, they could find her not guilty by reason of insanity.

I think LC had postpartum psychosis for sure. Not to mention her brain being messed up with the various medications they prescribed her. I feel bad for her. She needs mental help. Not throwing her in jail imo

The reference may be alluding to the complaint filed by the Yates family against the psychiatrist due to the dosage of Effexor he prescribed.

Effexor is not an antipsychotic.

Another psychiatrist disputed that claim stating “Saeed's greatest error was taking Yates off the antipsychotic drug Haldol two weeks before she killed her children.”

That suggests the exact opposite of what the poster claimed, which was that the antipsychotic made things worse. That's why I'm confused.

No, Effexor is not an anti-psychotic. Never said it was. The OP mentioned the Yates case complaint and you asked for a link. As I posted, OP may have been alluding to the complaint I referenced. In the reference, a different psych felt the issue with Yates was being removed from Haldol.

I don’t think you are confused.

I snipped the OP's post because I'm asking for this: "One psychiatrist noted that the cocktail of anti-psychotic drugs she was prescribed was like throwing gasoline on a roaring fire in terms of her psychotic symptoms"

If anyone has the above, that's the link I'd like to see. The suggestion from an expert that the antipsychotics made her worse. Otherwise, I don't believe it to be fact.

I’m intrigued by your intrigue with this one. While we wait for the OP to come back and answer, maybe this?

Finally, she received a drug cocktail containing an antipsychotic agent. The medication was apparently effective, but Andrea believed she had been given “truth serum”, which caused her to lose control of herself.

The term 'anti-psychotic drugs', I believe, has been used to mean there was likely an anti-psychotic or two prescribed at some point, not a combination of only anti-psychotic drugs.
That is how I read it.

A Husband in the Aftermath of His Wife’s Unfathomable Act

Patrick Clancy’s wife killed their children during a postpartum mental-health crisis. Prosecutors describe a clear-headed scheme, but Clancy says, “I wasn’t married to a monster—I was married to someone who got sick.”

"Sick" is not the same as insanity, for legal purposes. The bar is much higher. She planned this atrocity in detail, to make sure he would be gone long enough for her to complete the deed.
I would tend to agree the doctors were somewhat complicit with that massive number of prescribed meds.
Diminished capacity perhaps, but not insanity. JMO

Mother accused in deaths of 3 kids files 'notice of lack of criminal responsibility'

Thank you for posting. From the link:


“In a recent interview with "The New Yorker," Patrick Clancy said he once asked his wife for answers.”

"I think one of the first things I asked was, 'Did you plan this? Is that why you sent me out?" Clancy said. "She said, 'No, it just was, like, a snap of the fingers."

“According to Massachusetts law, the defense only needs to make the argument that Lindsay Clancy was not guilty by reason of insanity. NewsCenter 5 legal experts said it will then be on the state to prove Clancy was sane and criminally responsible the night her children were killed.”

“Clancy is being held at Tewksbury State Hospital.”
