Lindsay Clancy is being tried for the death of her three children, and during the proceedings two opposing descriptions have been used to characterize her: "functional mother" or "puppet" controlled by a voice. All witnesses have already been heard at the trial, and it is now up to the jury to decide whether Lindsay has, or does not have, criminal responsibility for the acts she is accused of. The case revolves around the central question of whether Lindsay acted with discernment when she killed her three children, or if she was under the effect of a mental disorder that prevented her from understanding the gravity of her actions. The defense maintains that Lindsay should not be considered criminally responsible, arguing that she suffered from a mental health problem that made her hear voices and act involuntarily.
