Killer Mom Trial: Why Lindsay Clancy Would NOT Face Murder Charges In Dozens Of Countries Aug 31, 2026

Show notes

More than two dozen countries around the world have special laws to prevent a new mother from being convicted of murder if she kills her own child within 12 months of giving birth. That means a jury would not be considering first or second degree murder charges against Lindsay Clancy if the same exact scenario happened in most other western, industrialized countries. It all dates back to the “Infanticide Act of 1938” which allows for manslaughter charges to be brought against a mother who kills her child under a year old because “the balance of her mind was disturbed by reason of her not having fully recovered from the effect of gibing birth to the child.”

Killer Mom Trial VERDICT WATCH: What Jurors Are Weighing, As Prosecution Star Witness Resigns From Job After Heated Testimony Aug 31, 2026

Show notes

The jurors in the Lindsay Clancy trial will begin day three of deliberations as they weigh competing medical diagnoses, along with any of their own personal experiences with parenting, motherhood and mental illness. Legal experts say it’s likely an emotional and overwhelming task for jurors, as they determine whether or not mental illness prevented the Massachusetts mom from knowing right from wrong as she strangled her three young children. Meantime, there was an interesting development outside of the courtroom: Dr. Avram Mack resigned from his position at a Delaware children’s hospital immediately after wrapping up his highly contentious testimony where he said Clancy was not suffering from postpartum psychosis.

Homicide Detectives Investigate Mysterious Death Of Southwest Airlines Flight Attendant On Layover Aug 28, 2026

Show notes

Honolulu police have confirmed their homicide division is leading the investigation into the death of 50 year old Jenny Lupton, whose body was found after falling from a 24th floor hotel balcony in Waikiki. Lupton’s family insists the loving mom to a 15 year old son would never take her own life; she had been enjoying her layover with a flight attendant friend and had just gotten a tattoo the day before her death, with plans to color it in once she retuned home to Oklahoma. Police have not determined her cause of death yet and say they plan to “limit the release of certain information” to preserve the integrity of the investigation, while asking the public to refrain from sharing unverified information while they continue their work.
