The tragic crime of a distressed American woman, Lindsay Clancy, recently filled the newsfeed of millions, flooding our algorithms with a jury’s attempt to to find a wise judgment. On September 4th, her court case ended in a mistrial, because the jurors could not unanimously agree—should Clancy be called to account for the premeditated murder of her three young children, or was she too deeply affected by postpartum psychosis that she should not be held fully responsible? It seemed that no one could concur on that, but I think almost everyone would agree—you know it’s getting bad when the mothers stop mothering.
