Lindsay Clancy, on trial in Massachusetts for strangling her three children with exercise bands, faces a jury still deliberating as her case draws direct comparisons to the Bronx verdict.

Bill Maher told his panel he cannot understand why hundreds of women are gathering outside Plymouth Superior Court to support Lindsay Clancy, a mother who admits using exercise bands to strangle her three children — Cora, aged five, Dawson, aged three, and Callan, just eight months old — in January 2023. The 70-year-old host, on his August 28 show, challenged guests including Representative Byron Donalds with the question: 'What I don't get is why does she have fans?' By Friday, the jury of nine women and three men had yet to deliver a verdict, with deliberations due to continue Monday.

Clancy, 36, has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, contending that postpartum psychosis had left her with no awareness of her actions as she told each child to 'Go to God.'

Prosecution psychiatrist Dr Avram Mack stepped down from his position at Nemours Children's Health in Delaware on the same day he came into conflict with defence lawyers during cross-examination.

A retired Massachusetts judge cautions that if the insanity defence succeeds, Clancy could face yearly civil commitment reviews rather than a determinate sentence.
