What Happens to Lindsay Clancy If Jury Finds Her Not Guilty of Murdering Her 3 Children

Professor Daniel Medwed is quoted on the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, explaining what would happen under Massachusetts law if the jury finds her not guilty by reason of a lack of criminal responsibility. Medwed detailed the layered process of observation periods and commitment orders that would follow such a verdict, noting the process “could go on indefinitely,” and clarified that the burden remains on the prosecution to refute evidence of a defendant's mental state.
