The jury in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy saw autopsy photos of the youngest of three children, who she has admitted strangling in January 2023. The photos prompted Clancy to breakdown in repeated sobs. The defense doesn’t dispute that Clancy killed the children but argues she was overwhelmed by postpartum psychosis, a rare condition that affects women’s hold on reality after childbirth. Prosecutors contend that Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse, acted intentionally and is criminally responsible. If convicted, she faces life in prison without parole.

However, Elaine Rossi told the jury at Clancy's murder trial Wednesday that she never saw the Massachusetts mom as a danger to her kids.

Nearly 30 years after his death, Tupac Shakur will be front and center as a man who prosecutors say orchestrated his killing goes to trial. Duane “Keffe D” Davis has pleaded not guilty to a single count of murder for his alleged role in the death of the iconic rapper. The long-unsolved case has gripped fans. For decades, the case was cold. Then, Davis' tell-all memoir revived the investigation, and he was arrested in late 2023. Jury selection is scheduled to start Monday. The trial is scheduled for about a month. Shakur's family hopes the trial will answer key questions about the artist's death and bring justice for Shakur.
