Mom Held Without Bond; Casey Anthony Lawyer Defends

Lindsay Clancy, a former Massachusetts labor and delivery nurse, is charged after her three children — Cora, Dawson and Callan — die. Her lawyers argue severe mental illness and postpartum psychosis; prosecutors argue she is criminally responsible.

Barrett Walsh is found hanging in the basement of the family's Frankfort home. According to court documents cited by local media, a neighbor discovers the boy, removes the ligature and performs CPR while calling 911, but cannot revive him. Prosecutors say two other children in the home returned from school as the situation was underway and ran to the neighbor for help.

Walsh is found in an upstairs bathroom with what appeared to be self-inflicted injuries and is taken to a hospital. Prosecutors say witnesses told police Walsh had been discussing the Clancy case with friends by text in the hours before Barrett's death. The National Pulse reports she texted friends during jury deliberations in the Clancy case: "It's manslaughter. Please help. I'm really freaking out."

Clancy's trial ends without a verdict. Judge William Sullivan declares a mistrial after jurors repeatedly report they are deadlocked, leaving unresolved whether Clancy was criminally responsible. A retrial remains possible.

Lyon releases a statement calling Barrett's death a tragedy and saying her client was experiencing a "psychotic episode" at the time.

A judge orders Walsh detained without bond following the Will County hearing. The National Pulse reports the judge also ordered that she receive psychiatric treatment while in custody.
