Summary:

The defense's legal claim at trial.

Body:

[DISPUTED CLAIM] The defense argues that bipolar illness or postpartum psychosis, worsened by medication and fragmented care, deprived Clancy of criminal responsibility when she killed the children. [Trial Day 1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v9vz_Nw3lE)

[UNKNOWN] Defense experts had not testified by August 11, so the full evidentiary basis and cross-examination record were not yet public. [Court TV tracker](https://www.courttv.com/news/lindsay-clancy-trial-opening-statements-set-for-mom-accused-of-killing-her-3-children/)
