Clancy lacked management and was probably unable to inform the distinction between proper and unsuitable on that January 2023 day, he informed the jury on Friday.

“In her mind, she believed that she would be doing her children a favour by having them go to heaven with her rather than remain on earth without her doing the mothering,” Resnick testified.

The case is expected to go to the jury early next week following practically a month of witness testimony.

Earlier this week, Clancy’s mom and former mother-in-law testified about how Clancy’s psychological well being deteriorated after the start of her youngest son.

“She was begging for help,” Clancy’s former mother-in-law, Susan Clancy, said of a lady she described as a “very nurturing, very loving” mom.

Clancy has been charged with three counts of first-degree homicide.

Prosecutors have said that in January 2023, Clancy deliberately strangled the three kids with health bands in their Massachusetts house before leaping out of a second-floor window. Clancy, now 36, was paralysed by the soar and has attended the trial in a wheelchair.

The defence have said Clancy skilled hallucinations and delusions after giving start to Callan and she was present process medical therapy for psychiatric issues. She checked herself into a psychiatric hospital for a few days just before the deaths.

The UK’s National Health Service (NHS) defines postpartum psychosis as a uncommon severe psychological well being sickness that can have an effect on someone quickly after having a child.

“Postpartum psychosis is very different from the ‘baby blues’,” the NHS provides. “It’s a serious mental illness and should be treated as a medical emergency.”
