The brief

Paula Devlin says deliberations began with most jurors leaning toward a not-criminally-responsible finding, while two favored guilt and two remained undecided.
Devlin describes the holdout’s struggle to reconcile Clancy’s apparently organized actions with severe mental illness and postpartum psychosis before the jury reached a 10–2 split.
