Warning: This story contains distressing details and discussion of attempted suicide The fate of US mother Lindsay Clancy is now in the hands of a Massachusetts jury, who must decide if she is guilty of first-degree murder - the intentional and premeditated killing of another person - in the deaths of her three children.
警告:这个故事包含令人痛心的细节和自杀未遂的讨论 美国母亲Lindsay Clancy的命运现在掌握在马萨诸塞州的陪审团手中,她必须决定她是否犯有一级谋杀罪-故意和有预谋地杀害另一个人-在她的三个孩子的死亡
For five weeks, the trial has gripped the country as Clancy's lawyers have argued that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis when she killed her children, who ranged in age from eight months to five years.
五个星期以来,审判一直困扰着这个国家,因为克兰西的律师辩称,当她杀死她的孩子时,她患有产后精神病,这些孩子的年龄从八个月到五岁不等。
Clancy does not deny killing her two sons and daughter. The prosecution argued she made a calculated decision to intentionally murder them.
克兰西并不否认杀害了她的两个儿子和女儿。 控方辩称,她做出了故意谋杀他们的深思熟虑的决定。
The jury could find Clancy guilty of first-degree murder, guilty of lesser charges, or not guilty.
陪审团可以认定克兰西犯有一级谋杀罪,罪名较轻,或无罪。
The jury of nine women and three men completed their first day of deliberations on Thursday.
由九名女性和三名男性组成的陪审团于周四完成了第一天的审议工作。
They will return on Friday. In the state of Massachusetts, a first-degree murder conviction carries a mandatory life in prison sentence without the possibility of parole.
他们将在周五回归。 在马萨诸塞州,一级谋杀定罪将强制执行终身监禁且不得假释。
The jury could instead find Clancy guilty of second-degree murder - committed with malice or extreme recklessness, but without prior planning - or involuntary manslaughter - causing death because of extreme carelessness.
陪审团可以判定克兰西犯有二级谋杀罪——即出于恶意或极端鲁莽,但没有事先计划,或非自愿过失杀人——因极度疏忽导致死亡。
Those convictions, too, would lead to some prison time. If Clancy is found not guilty by reason of insanity, then she will not be set free, but instead sent to a psychiatric hospital, where she possibly could remain for life.
这些定罪同样会导致一定的监禁。 如果克兰西因精神失常被判无罪,她不会被释放,而是被送往精神病院,可能终身监禁。
Key moments in trial of Lindsay Clancy, the mother accused of murdering her three children Attorneys for both sides made closing arguments on Thursday before the jury began deliberating.
林赛·克兰西被控谋杀三名子女的母亲审判中的关键时刻 双方律师于周四在陪审团开始审议前进行了结案陈词。
Kevin Reddington, Clancy's attorney, repeated the defence's argument that she was experiencing postpartum psychosis when she killed the children with exercise bands at their home and then attempted to end her own life by jumping out of a window.
克兰西的律师凯文·雷丁顿重申了辩方的观点,称她在家中用健身带杀害孩子,随后试图跳窗自杀,正经历产后精神病。
Clancy was paralysed by the attempt and has attended the trial in a wheelchair.
克兰西因未遂而瘫痪,坐轮椅参加审判。
"This young lady is not guilty of the killing of her children because she was suffering from a disease and defect," Reddington said, adding that he believed prosecutors were "not going to be able to prove otherwise". The UK's National Health Service (NHS) defines postpartum psychosis as a rare and serious mental health illness that can affect someone soon after having a baby, and which should be treated as a medical emergency.
雷丁顿说:"这位年轻女士并未杀害自己的孩子,因为她患有疾病和缺陷,"他补充说,他认为检察官"无法证明相反的事实"。 英国国民健康服务体系(NHS)将产后精神病定义为一种罕见且严重的精神疾病,可能在刚生完孩子不久后影响患者,应当作为医疗紧急情况来治疗。
One of the more tense moments of the closing arguments came when Reddington directly addressed the prosecutors and asked them to explain why they tried to prove Clancy's suicide attempt was not serious.
结案陈词中较为紧张的时刻之一是雷丁顿直接向检察官发言,要求他们解释为何试图证明克兰西的自杀未遂不严重。
The judge interrupted and ordered him to address only the jury.
法官打断他,命令他只对陪审团发言。
Prosecutor Jennifer Sprague did not dispute that Clancy was mentally ill, but told the jury that the defendant could tell the difference between right and wrong at the time of the killings. "It's not the system or the DSM that caused her to strangle her kids," Sprague told the jury, referencing the US encyclopedia of mental heath diagnoses, which does not give postpartum psychosis its own classification.
检察官詹妮弗·斯普拉格并未否认克兰西精神有病,但告诉陪审团,被告在杀人时能分辨对错。 "不是系统或DSM导致她掐死了自己的孩子,"斯普雷格对陪审团说,引用了美国精神健康诊断百科全书,该书并未给产后精神病单独分类。
Sprague also said Clancy had an "abundance of care", but had hidden thoughts from doctors about harming her kids.
斯普拉格还说克兰西"得到了充足的护理",但医生们对伤害她孩子的想法是隐瞒的。
