陪审团正在审议对马萨诸塞州母亲Lindsay Clancy的审判,她被控在波士顿郊区的家中谋杀她的三个小孩。
In a case that has captivated the American public, Clancy has not disputed that she killed them, but her lawyers argue she should not be held legally responsible because she was suffering from severe mental illness.
在一个吸引美国公众的案件中,克兰西并没有对她杀死他们提出异议,但她的律师认为她不应该因为她患有严重的精神疾病而被追究法律责任。

Here are some of the most notable moments from the emotional five-week trial.
以下是情绪化的五周试验中一些最值得注意的时刻。
Prosecutors allege that on 24 January 2023, Clancy intentionally strangled all of her children - Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, eight months - with fitness bands in their Duxbury, Massachusetts, home before jumping from a second-floor window. Clancy, now 36, was paralysed by the fall and attended the trial in a wheelchair.

Lindsay Clancy's trial puts postpartum psychosis in the spotlight Clancy's attorneys, while defending her, have never rejected her role in the killings.

Instead, they have put forth a defence of insanity, arguing that Clancy had hallucinations and delusions after giving birth to her youngest child.
相反,他们提出了精神失常的辩护,辩称克兰西在生下最小的孩子后出现了幻觉和妄想。
They pointed to treatment for mental health problems and that she checked herself into a psychiatric hospital just days before the deaths. Prosecutors, meanwhile, have argued Clancy made a calculated decision to intentionally kill her children and should be held legally responsible.
他们指出她接受了心理健康问题的治疗,并且她在死亡前几天自愿入住了精神病院。 与此同时,检察官辩称克兰西是经过深思熟虑地决定故意杀害她的孩子,应当承担法律责任。
They allege that at the time, Clancy sent her husband, Patrick Clancy, out on errands so that he would not be home. Clancy's family, including her former mother-in-law and husband, have testified about her mental state leading up to the deaths.
他们声称当时克兰西派丈夫帕特里克·克兰西外出办事,以免他回家。 克兰西的家人,包括她的前婆婆和丈夫,都作证说她在死亡前的精神状态。
The five-week trial has sparked interest on social media as thousands watched the court proceedings.
这场为期五周的审判引发了社交媒体上的关注,成千上万的人观看了庭审过程。
Hundreds of women have showed up outside the courthouse to support Clancy, wearing pink shirts with phrases like "She Needed Help" and "Peace For Lindsay". Over two days, Clancy's ex-husband, Patrick, told jurors about his ex-wife's declining mental health after giving birth and described the day his children died in gruesome detail.
数百名女性出现在法院外支持克兰西,穿着印有"她需要帮助"和"为林赛和平"等字样的粉色衬衫。 在两天内,克兰西的前夫帕特里克向陪审团讲述了前妻生完孩子后精神状况恶化的情况,并详细描述了孩子们去世的那一天。
He told jurors that Clancy's "big spiral" began about a month before their deaths.
他告诉陪审团,克兰西的"大漩涡"大约在他们去世前一个月开始。
"She started to lose a lot of weight, and she became very depressed, and she was having a really hard time," he said.

He described her intermittently seeking help from doctors and taking a variety of medications, adding that he recalled her saying she was starting to have thoughts of suicide.
他描述她断断续续地寻求医生帮助并服用各种药物,并补充说她曾说开始有自杀念头。

他回来时发现孩子们已经死了。
Lindsay Clancy sobbed in court as a recording of her husband's 911 call played. He can be heard screaming, "She killed the kids", after finding their children in the basement.
林赛·克兰西在法庭上哭泣,播放着丈夫911电话的录音。 在地下室发现他们的孩子后,可以听到他尖叫:"她杀了孩子们。"
Since the beginning of the trial, conspiracy theories about Patrick Clancy have swirled online, including some speculating about his involvement. But he was never a suspect or under suspicion by investigators; Lindsay Clancy admitted to killing her children and her attorneys have not denied that.
自审判开始以来,关于帕特里克·克兰西的阴谋论在网络上流传,包括一些关于他涉案的猜测。 但他从未被调查人员列为嫌疑人或怀疑对象;林赛·克兰西承认杀害了自己的孩子,她的律师也未否认这一点。
More than 10 expert witnesses testified for both the defence and the prosecution, including some who clashed with lawyers over Clancy's mental health. Over the course of her treatment, Clancy was put on over a dozen medications, and sought help from a suicide hotline and the emergency room.
超过10名专家证人为辩方和控方作证,其中包括一些因克兰西心理健康问题与律师发生冲突的人。 在治疗过程中,克兰西服用了十多种药物,并向自杀热线和急诊室寻求帮助。
Clancy's team tried to convince jurors she had postpartum psychosis, a rare condition in which postpartum women can experience mania, depression or a mixture of both.

Clancy claims she experienced hallucinations and delusions.
克兰西声称她经历了幻觉和妄想。
One day in the courtroom grew particularly heated as one of Clancy's psychiatrists, Jennifer Tufts, testified for the prosecution that Clancy did not show signs of psychosis during their sessions. Watch: Clancy's defence clashes with expert witnesses There were "no serious signs that her safety or anyone else's safety was at risk," said Tufts, who saw Clancy over a dozen times for five months.
法庭上有一天变得格外激烈,因为克兰西的精神科医生詹妮弗·塔夫茨为控方作证,称克兰西在会谈过程中没有表现出精神病迹象。 观看:克兰西的辩护与专家证人发生冲突 塔夫茨说:"没有任何严重迹象表明她或其他人的安全受到威胁",她在五个月内见过克兰西十几次。
But defence attorneys pointed to Tufts' medical notes, describing Clancy's "not hyper, pressured speech".
但辩护律师指出塔夫茨的医疗记录,描述克兰西"不是过度紧张,而是压力过大的言语"。
Pressured speech - a rapid, frantic way of talking - can be a sign of mania.
说话急促——一种快速、慌乱的说话方式——可能是躁狂的表现。
Tufts denied that she believed Clancy had pressured speech, saying the "not" applied to both the words hyper and pressured.
塔夫茨否认她认为克兰西有"施压言语",并表示"不"适用于"hyper"和"pressureed"这两个词。
As defence attorney Kevin Reddington pressed her, she replied: "I don't care what it says. I know what I meant."
当辩护律师凯文·雷丁顿追问时,她回答:"我不在乎上面写什么。 我知道我的意思。"
Reddington also grew tense as he repeatedly questioned another prosecution expert, psychiatrist Avram Mack, about whether postpartum psychosis is a diagnosis. The American Psychiatric Association views postpartum psychosis as only a proposed illness, he said. Mack avoided calling postpartum psychosis a recognised diagnosis, at one point responding: "I'm not sure if that specifically answers your question."
Reddington也变得紧张,因为他反复询问另一位起诉专家,精神病学家Avram Mack,关于产后精神病是否是一种诊断。 他说,美国精神病学协会认为产后精神病只是一种拟议的疾病。 Mack避免将产后精神病称为公认的诊断,有一次回应说:"我不确定这是否具体回答了你的问题。"
In a frustrated tone, Reddington responded: "I don't care."
在沮丧的语气中,雷德丁顿回答说:"我不在乎。"
