Inside court as judge declares a mistrial in Lindsay Clancy case Warning: This story contains distressing details and discussion of attempted suicide Jodi Fournier spent 15 days at the courthouse - sitting, listening and waiting.
法庭内法官宣布林赛·克兰西案审判无效 警告：这个故事包含令人痛苦的细节和对自杀未遂的讨论 乔迪·福尼耶 (Jodi Fournier) 在法院度过了 15 天——坐着、倾听和等待。
It was a personal duty, she felt, to show support for Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother charged with murdering her three children.
她认为，对林赛·克兰西（Lindsay Clancy）表示支持是她个人的责任，这位马萨诸塞州的母亲被指控谋杀了她的三个孩子。
Katelyn Kazmirci, from North Carolina, convinced her mother to make a detour to the courthouse in Plymouth on their way to a family funeral, intrigued by the case she had followed on TikTok. All around them, dozens of women wearing pink rallied in support of Clancy.
来自北卡罗来纳州的凯特琳·卡兹米尔奇 (Katelyn Kazmirci) 说服母亲在参加家庭葬礼的途中绕道普利茅斯法院，她对 TikTok 上关注的案件很感兴趣。 在他们周围，数十名身穿粉红色衣服的女性聚集在一起支持克兰西。
Not everyone felt the same and across the country, on social media and at dinner tables, Americans have been debating the case with passion.
并非每个人都有同样的感受，在全国范围内，在社交媒体上和餐桌上，美国人一直在热情地讨论此案。
For nearly seven weeks, the trial transfixed and divided the nation on whether Clancy was a victim or a criminal who deserved to be behind bars. The 36-year-old nurse's defence team argued she had been suffering from postpartum psychosis when she strangled her young children and so could not be held criminally responsible.
在近七周的时间里，这场审判震惊了全国，并在克兰西是受害者还是应入狱的罪犯问题上产生了分歧。 这位36岁的护士的辩护小组辩称，她勒死年幼的孩子时患有产后精神病，因此不能承担刑事责任。
The prosecution alleged the killings were intentional and calculated.
检方声称这些杀戮是故意且有计划的。
The judge declared a mistrial on Friday after jurors - who had heard the testimony of dozens of witnesses and deliberated for 40 hours - failed to come to a unanimous decision. What happens next after Lindsay Clancy mistrial?
周五，陪审团听取了数十名证人的证词并商议了 40 个小时，但未能达成一致决定，法官宣布审判无效。 林赛·克兰西审判失败后接下来会发生什么？
Their inability to agree mirrored the wider discourse around the trial - one that trial attendee Maryanne Drysdale, 65, saw play out within her own family.
他们未能达成一致反映了围绕审判的更广泛的讨论 - 65 岁的审判参加者玛丽安·德赖斯代尔 (Maryanne Drysdale) 看到了她自己家庭中发生的事情。
She and her 28-year-old daughter believe Clancy needs mental health treatment, not prison, while her three adult sons, who have children of similar age to Clancy's, completely disagree.
她和她 28 岁的女儿认为克兰西需要心理健康治疗，而不是坐牢，而她的三个成年儿子（他们的孩子与克兰西年龄相仿）完全不同意。
"It's black and white for them, [Clancy] killed the kids and that's that," she said.
“对他们来说这是黑白分明的，[克兰西]杀了孩子们，就是这样，”她说。
"I brought these kids up - how can we think so differently about this?"
“我抚养这些孩子——我们怎么能对这个问题有如此不同的看法呢？”
Jodi Fournier spent more than two weeks outside the courthouse to show support for Clancy Fournier believes Clancy was wronged by the US health system and felt compelled, as a woman and a mother, to show up for a case that has given a spotlight to postpartum struggles. "It only takes one person to change the narrative," she said.
乔迪·福尼尔在法院外呆了两个多星期，以表达对克兰西的支持 福尼尔认为，克兰西受到了美国卫生系统的冤屈，作为一名女性和母亲，她感到有必要出面处理这起让产后斗争成为焦点的案件。 “只需要一个人就能改变叙事，”她说。
"This is a global issue.
“这是一个全球性问题。
This isn't just Massachusetts-small-town.
这不仅仅是马萨诸塞州的小镇。
This is... women everywhere." Clancy claims she experienced hallucinations and delusions before strangling her three children - five-year-old Cora, Dawson, three, and Callan, who was eight months old - and then jumping from a second-floor window, leaving her paralysed. The court heard testimony from more than 10 expert witnesses on Clancy's mental and postpartum health during the trial. But some of them seemed to dispute the defence's claim that postpartum psychosis - a rare post-childbirth condition characterised by mania, depression, hallucinations, delusions and losing contact with reality - precluded Clancy from criminal liability.
这……到处都是女人。” 克兰西声称，她在勒死自己的三个孩子——五岁的科拉、三岁的道森和八个月大的卡兰——之前经历了幻觉和妄想，然后从二楼的窗户跳下，导致她瘫痪。 法庭在审判期间听取了10多名专家证人关于克兰西精神和产后健康状况的证词。 但他们中的一些人似乎对辩方的说法提出质疑，即产后精神病——一种罕见的产后病症，以躁狂、抑郁、幻觉、妄想和与现实脱离联系为特征——使克兰西免于承担刑事责任。
Jennifer Tufts, who treated Clancy during more than a dozen sessions over five months, testified that she had not shown signs of psychosis.
詹妮弗·塔夫茨 (Jennifer Tufts) 在五个月的时间里对克兰西进行了十几次治疗，她作证说她没有表现出精神病的迹象。
Psychiatrist Avram Mack later testified that the American Psychiatric Association did not recognise postpartum psychosis as a diagnosis.
精神病学家阿夫拉姆·麦克后来作证说，美国精神病学协会不承认产后精神病作为一种诊断。
Lindsay Clancy's trial puts postpartum psychosis in the spotlight Mistrial declared in Lindsay Clancy murder case, after jury deadlocks These declarations only deepened staunch opinions for many - on both sides.
林赛·克兰西的审判使产后精神病成为人们关注的焦点 陪审团陷入僵局后，林赛·克兰西谋杀案被宣布无效审判 这些声明只会加深双方许多人的坚定观点。
Texas mother-of-four Nicole Russell, who followed the trial remotely, noted the prosecution's presentation of how much medical care and support Clancy had received - from doctors, her husband, nanny and family - calling it "way more help" than most mothers receive.
德克萨斯州四个孩子的母亲妮可·拉塞尔（Nicole Russell）远程关注了审判，她注意到检方介绍了克兰西从医生、她的丈夫、保姆和家人那里获得了多少医疗护理和支持，称这比大多数母亲获得的“帮助多得多”。
Clancy's struggles were said to have begun following the birth of her youngest child.
据说克兰西的挣扎是在她最小的孩子出生后开始的。
She repeatedly sought care, visiting a hospital emergency room, different medical professionals and even calling a suicide hotline.
她多次寻求护理，拜访医院急诊室，拜访不同的医疗专业人员，甚至拨打自杀热线。
Many observers took that as evidence that Clancy had been proactive and done everything within her power to heal but had been failed by the system, prompting sympathy from some.
许多观察家认为这证明克兰西一直积极主动，并尽一切努力来治愈，但系统却失败了，这引起了一些人的同情。
Melissa Merrill says she, like Clancy, suffered suicidal ideation after giving birth Melissa Merrill had been treated at the same hospital as Clancy after the birth of her son.
梅丽莎·梅里尔 (Melissa Merrill) 表示，她和克兰西一样，在生完孩子后也曾有过自杀念头 梅丽莎·梅里尔在儿子出生后与克兰西在同一家医院接受治疗。
"I see myself in her, as a mum who had suicidal ideation," she told the BBC outside the Plymouth courthouse.
“我在她身上看到了自己，一个有自杀念头的妈妈，”她在普利茅斯法院外告诉英国广播公司。
Throughout the weeks of emotional testimony, Clancy, who uses a wheelchair, could be seen crying, holding her attorney's hand and making agonised utterances in court as sometimes harrowing details were shared. After one of the trial days, Merrill rushed to Clancy's defence attorney outside the court and gave him a pink envelope holding a message of support and hope for his client, believing Clancy was a "sad, defeated woman".
在数周的情感证词中，可以看到坐在轮椅上的克兰西哭泣，握着律师的手，在法庭上发表痛苦的言论，有时还会分享令人痛苦的细节。 审判日结束后，梅里尔冲到法庭外找到克兰西的辩护律师，给了他一个粉红色的信封，里面装着对他的当事人的支持和希望，她认为克兰西是一个“悲伤、失败的女人”。
But other parents, like Texas mother Russell, railed against "toxic empathy", insisting Clancy was "not a martyr or a symbol for tired mums".
但其他父母，比如得克萨斯州的母亲拉塞尔，反对“有毒的同理心”，坚称克兰西“不是烈士，也不是疲惫妈妈的象征”。
"Lindsay Clancy cannot be the poster child of what difficult motherhood looks like, because millions of mothers give birth to children and endure all kinds of hardship, and they do not hurt their children," Russell argued.
拉塞尔认为：“林赛·克兰西不可能成为艰难母亲的典型代表，因为数以百万计的母亲生下孩子，忍受各种苦难，但她们并没有伤害自己的孩子。”
The moment judge declares a mistrial in Lindsay Clancy case The discourse around the Clancy trial was prominent on social media, with many users being hard-pressed to find a platform where the case was not being mentioned, if not being subject to myriad conspiracy theories.
法官宣布林赛·克兰西案无效审判的那一刻 围绕克兰西审判的讨论在社交媒体上非常引人注目，许多用户很难找到一个不提及此案的平台，即使不是受到无数阴谋论的影响。
Clancy's mother, sister and former husband all testified to her deteriorating mental state in the run-up to the murders, but her ex Patrick Clancy was singled out online for wild vitriol and cover-up accusations.
克兰西的母亲、姐姐和前夫都证实了她在谋杀案发生前精神状态不断恶化，但她的前任帕特里克·克兰西在网上因激烈的尖酸刻薄和掩盖指控而被点名。
There were claims that he was to blame for the murders, despite his wife never denying killing their children, nor that she had been the only adult at home at the time.
有人声称他应对谋杀负责，尽管他的妻子从未否认杀害了他们的孩子，而且她也是当时家里唯一的成年人。
This thrust him into the limelight, with tabloids snapping photos of him travelling and with his new wife.
这让他成为了众人瞩目的焦点，小报拍下了他旅行以及与新婚妻子的照片。
His lawyers issued a statement to CNN in August calling the facts "indisputable".
他的律师八月份向美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）发表声明，称事实“无可争议”。
"Patrick Clancy has suffered an unspeakable and unimaginable loss," they said.
他们说：“帕特里克·克兰西遭受了无法形容和难以想象的损失。”
"Unfortunately, the tragedy Patrick has experienced has been compounded by patently false, defamatory and injurious public statements."
“不幸的是，明显虚假、诽谤和伤害性的公开言论加剧了帕特里克所经历的悲剧。”
Clancy supporters - many wearing pink - huddled outside the courthouse Those who believed Clancy should be held accountable for the killings also had a presence outside the court The case became a flashpoint for gender discussion, too, with opinions often divided along gender lines.
克兰西的支持者——许多人穿着粉红色的衣服——挤在法院外 那些认为克兰西应该对杀戮负责的人也出现在法庭外 该案也成为性别讨论的热点，人们的观点常常因性别而存在分歧。
Father-of-three Vincenzo Vazquez, who followed the trial from Illinois, believes gender has a lot to do with Clancy's treatment, doubting that the public would show similar sympathy if a father were on trial for the same charges.
三个孩子的父亲文森佐·巴斯克斯 (Vincenzo Vazquez) 在伊利诺伊州关注了审判，他认为性别与克兰西的待遇有很大关系，他怀疑如果父亲因同样的指控而受审，公众是否会表现出类似的同情。
"Whatever someone is dealing with, I don't think there's ever an appropriate time or an excuse or a justification to, you know, kill children of your own, or kill any children," he said. He said he felt "very sad and a little disgusted to see how many people are rallying behind her", adding: "I think people should be out there rallying for justice for the children.
“无论某人正在处理什么，我认为没有适当的时间、借口或理由，你知道，杀死自己的孩子，或杀死任何孩子，”他说。 他说，他“看到有这么多人支持她，感到非常悲伤和有点厌恶”，并补充道：“我认为人们应该站出来为孩子们争取正义。
They're three beautiful kids that had a future in front of them."
他们是三个美丽的孩子，有着美好的未来。”
The decision to declare a mistrial after seven days of deadlocked jury deliberations has left the status of the case - and Clancy's future - unclear. A hearing at the end of the month could establish whether prosecutors will move ahead with second trial or attempt to reach a plea deal.
经过七天的僵局审议后，陪审团决定宣布审判无效，这使得案件的状况以及克兰西的未来变得不明朗。 月底举行的听证会可能会确定检察官是否会继续进行二审或试图达成认罪协议。
For now, the debates elsewhere will no doubt continue.
目前，其他地方的争论无疑还将继续。
