TMZ, NYP 'The Low Down:' Is Lindsay Clancy's Case Encouraging Others to Use Same Defense?
Lindsay Clancy’s postpartum-psychosis defense ended in a mistrial, prompting debate over whether it could encourage similar claims.
The New York Post reported at least eight cases since Clancy’s trial began involving mothers who allegedly killed or attempted to kill their children.
Dan Romer and Dr. Susan Hatters-Friedman discussed whether extensive coverage could contribute to a possible “social contagion,” while noting that confirmation bias might explain the pattern.
Dr. Susan Hatters-Friedman said the Clancy case has led more people to discuss child murders during mental-health appointments.
