Corie Walsh's defense will argue that the Illinois mother was psychotic and that the charges do not amount to first-degree murder after she was accused of killing her 2-year-old son. "She was psychotic. And this is not a first-degree murder," Andrea Lyon told reporters. Lyon, one of Casey Anthony's former attorneys, also rejected any connection between her client’s interest in the Lindsay Clancy case and the alleged killing. "They are not correlated at all. It’s just accidental," Lyon said, calling speculation that Walsh’s actions were a copycat crime "baseless and cruel."

Lynette Hooker's husband was spotted living a quiet, seemingly unbothered life in northern California — walking dogs, sipping coffee in his garage, sifting through trash on the side of the road — four months after his wife vanished from their sailboat in the Bahamas. Brian Hooker, 58, was seen by Fox News Digital outside a home in Citrus Heights, about 15 miles northeast of Sacramento. He told investigators Lynette fell from a dinghy while the couple was returning to their sailboat, named Soulmate, during a vacation in April. He was initially detained and questioned by Bahamian authorities, then released. He has not been accused of any crime. The U.S. Coast Guard Investigative Service is leading the investigation into Lynette's disappearance. Her mother, Darlene Hamlett, says she just wants the truth and justice for her daughter.

An FBI psychiatrist testified Wednesday that financial pressure was among the stressors weighing on Lindsay Clancy before she killed her three children. Dr. Gregory Saathoff said Clancy, a labor and delivery nurse, had repeatedly delayed her return to work because she did not feel mentally healthy enough, and that she listed finances as a stressor in her own records. Believing "her brain had been damaged" and that she could no longer do the work she loved or help support her family, Saathoff said, left her with a sense of being a burden. Clancy faces three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her children, Cora, Dawson and Callan. She does not dispute killing them but says she was suffering from postpartum psychosis.

Lindsay Clancy's attorney says he is ready to retry her murder case as soon as next week if the deadlocked jury cannot reach a verdict. "I'd try it next week," Kevin Reddington told reporters, saying he has motions to file and is prepared to go again.

Clancy faces three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her children, Cora, Dawson and Callan. She does not dispute killing them but says she was suffering from postpartum psychosis.

Lindsay Clancy's defense attorney made clear Thursday that he welcomes a retrial if the deadlocked jury cannot reach a verdict, brushing off the notion that a second trial would benefit prosecutors. Asked what he thought about the view that a retrial would favor the prosecution, Kevin Reddington answered simply: "Bring it." He said he is prepared to try the case again quickly. "I got witnesses lined up. We're all set. Dr. Resnick is ready. I'm ready. We've got all our evidence. Witnesses are available, so let's go." Reddington said that while prosecutors might try to push a retrial off "for six months or a year," he intends to move fast. On the possibility of a plea deal, he deferred to Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz: "Let's see what Mr. Cruz wants to do, and then we'll talk about our options." He also showed reporters letters of support he said had come for Clancy "from all over the world," calling the response "amazing" and unlike anything he'd seen for a client. Clancy faces three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her children, Cora, Dawson and Callan. She does not dispute killing them but says she was suffering from postpartum psychosis.

Testimony is set to resume Thursday morning.

If jurors find Lindsay Clancy not criminally responsible for strangling her three children, she wouldn't face a life sentence in a mental hospital. Instead, her civil commitment would come up for review every single year — meaning there's no guarantee she stays locked up indefinitely. A retired Massachusetts judge says the process starts with a 40-day evaluation in a locked unit, followed by a potential six-month commitment. After that, yearly reviews determine whether she still meets the legal criteria for serious harm. If she doesn't, the facility's superintendent can recommend discharge. Clancy is charged with three counts of murder in the deaths of Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months old. Jurors began deliberating Thursday.

Defense attorney Kevin Reddington told Fox News the Lindsay Clancy case has struck a national nerve over how mothers with postpartum mental illness are treated. "It's the message that just has reverberated throughout the whole country," Reddington said outside court Wednesday, pointing to a mental health system he said too often hands women medication and sends them on their way. Asked about the show of support for Clancy, he said: "Thank you. That's all we can say. It's amazing." Clancy faces three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her children, Cora, Dawson and Callan. She does not dispute killing them but says she was suffering from postpartum psychosis. Many who have gathered in pink say the show of support is not an endorsement of what happened, but a stand for maternal mental health awareness and for mothers suffering from postpartum conditions.

10:15amET: The woman arrested outside the Lindsay Clancy murder trial was accused of filming jurors in the courthouse parking lot, prosecutors said at her arraignment in Massachusetts on Wednesday. Prosecutor Nicole Pearson, on behalf of the Commonwealth, said Dawn Light, 56, was sitting in her car filming potential jurors. According to Pearson, when Light was asked by police to open the deleted images folder on her phone, it contained a video of a number of people leaving the courthouse who were Clancy jurors. "She is filming jurors that are coming out of the building," Pearson said. Light was "adamant" she was not filming jurors, saying she was trying to see whether Clancy would come out, according to her attorney. Light's attorney called the incident "a complete misunderstanding," saying she was only trying to get a picture of Clancy. The attorney said Light is a retired registered nurse who worked in the profession for more than 25 years and has no criminal record. The judge released Light without cash bail and ordered her to stay away from courthouse grounds, to have no contact with jurors or witnesses, and to refrain from sharing photos or videos related to the incident. Clancy faces three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her children, Cora, Dawson and Callan. She does not dispute killing them but says she was suffering from postpartum psychosis.
