Clancy pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, claiming she suffered from postpartum psychosis that prevented her from understanding the nature and gravity of her actions. [^4]

Prosecutors argued that Clancy knew what she was doing and made a conscious decision to kill her children before attempting suicide, noting her training as a nurse and her knowledge of the medications she was taking. [^5]

Judge William Sullivan asked the jury to deliberate once more, marking his second request for deliberation in the case. [^6]
