Summary:

The trial's central legal divide.

Body:

[VERIFIED FACT] Defense counsel conceded that Lindsay Clancy physically caused the children's deaths; the defense contests criminal responsibility, not identity. [Defense stipulation report](https://www.courttv.com/news/defense-lindsay-clancy-willing-to-stipulate-to-her-involvement-in-kids-deaths/) · [Trial Day 1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v9vz_Nw3lE)

[ALLEGATION] The prosecution argues that the errands, communications, timing, and scene show intentional and planned killings by a criminally responsible actor. [Trial Day 1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v9vz_Nw3lE)

[DISPUTED CLAIM] The defense argues that severe mental illness and medication effects left Clancy legally unable to appreciate wrongfulness or conform her conduct to law. Defense experts had not testified by the Day 11 cutoff.
