I'm Sidney Silvani. Deliberations are underway in Plymouth County, Massachusetts. where a jury must decide if 36-year-old former labor and delivery nurse, Lindsay Clancy, is criminally responsible for fatally strangling her three young children in January 2023. Over five weeks of testimony in what has been called America's saddest murder trial, the emotional proceedings have refocused national attention on postpartum mental health care. Defense attorney Kevin Redington argues Clancy suffered from severe postpartum psychosis, pointing to her extreme suicide attempt.

immediately following the killings when she jumped from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Reddington insists Clancy was reaching out for help through hospital stays and hotlines, but was ultimately failed by over-medication and a broken system. Prosecutors contend the killings were planned and deliberate. Prosecutor Jennifer Sprague told jurors that Clancy had an abundance of care and mental health resources, as reported by East Idaho News. This wasn't a woman suffering from a lack of care, a lack of resources.

She had an abundance of help, an abundance of care. She had all of that and more. And she was asking for help. She was. She wanted help. She wanted to get better. But she wanted to get better on her own terms, doing things her way, the way she thought she should do them.

And as a nurse, she knew that's not the right way to approach it. Sprague argued that Clancy calculated the exact time her husband would be away picking up dinner and running pharmacy errands before carrying out the fatal acts. The prosecution presented a harrowing picture of the basement crime scene during closing arguments. She killed them and she left them there on the floor with the bands around their necks. She didn't bring them up to their beds and put them with their favorite stuffed animal and cover them up gently and lovingly, leaving them peacefully there. No. She left them, discarded on the basement floor like broken toys because she was done playing the game. You know to a moral certainty, she is guilty. That clip from our friends at East Idaho News.

The jury must now determine whether Clancy was legally insane at the time of the killings or criminally responsible for the tragic deaths of her three children.

In Pennsylvania, a family is demanding answers after 22-year-old college baseball player

Glenwood Bubba Pischer IV was shot and killed by police after accidentally trying to enter the wrong home. Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele confirmed the fatal shooting occurred early Sunday morning in Upper Potsgrove Township. Pissure had been out celebrating a friend's birthday and was walking to another friend's house when he mistook a neighbor's residence on Snyder Road for his destination. Unarmed, he knocked on the back door asking to be let in. Homeowners called 911 reporting an attempted burglary and responding officers shot Pissure twice following an encounter. His mother, Aaron, spoke with Fox News Digital about the moments leading up to the tragedy. I dropped him off with his friends at a bar. It was his friend's 21st birthday celebration.

They were all going out to celebrate and bar hop. There was parents there to drive them around, so no one was drinking and driving. That was about 5 o'clock, and I guess they were bar hopping from there, and after they were done, they went back to the birthday kid's house. Erin detailed how her son ended up on the wrong doorstep after the friends split up. I guess they broke into different. different groups and some people went to go to another house to hang out afterwards. My son didn't have a car, so he was walking. And somehow he took a wrong turn and ended up at the wrong house. And after a few drinks, I guess he didn't realize he was at the wrong house. He was at their back door knocking because he thought it was his friend's house. He's like, hey, let me in, you know,

let me in. And the homeowners, I guess, not knowing, called the cops, saying attempted burglary. Pissure was a dedicated student athlete preparing for his senior year at St. Elizabeth described as a carefree jokester who dreamed of becoming a history teacher and baseball coach, his mother recounted his loving spirit to Fox News Digital. He was the biggest sweetheart. He was carefree and loving, love life, loved to hang out with his friends, fishing. Baseball was his life. He played it in college.

He was getting ready to go to college Sunday afternoon to start his senior year. He went to come a history teacher and coach baseball. The officer involved has been placed on administration. of leave while the district attorney's office completes its active investigation. Finally, in Utah, a 17-year-old boy has been arrested 17 months after his mother, 44-year-old Jessica Lyman, and his 8-year-old half-brother, Eli Painter, were fatally shot inside their Saratoga Springs home. Police say the teen initially claimed he was napping during the March 2025 attack. However, charging documents reveal investigators found gunshot

residue on his clothing, while neighbor's surveillance footage recorded an argument in a woman's voice screaming, what are you doing? Two minutes before gunshots ring out. Court records reveal police also found intimate clothing belonging to his mother in the suspect's bedroom, alongside a note reading, this is a murder story. Hostile text messages sent prior to the killings further exposed deep internal turmoil. The teenager now faces two counts of first-degree murder as a court determines whether he will be tried as an adult.
