Twenty-five years apart. Two mothers. Two courtrooms. And one devastating question: What happens when severe mental illness collides with the criminal justice system?

In this episode of Motherhood on Trial, we look at the Andrea Yates case, the ongoing Lindsay Clancy trial, and what postpartum psychosis can actually look like — including the warning signs that are too often understood only after tragedy happens.

This isn’t about excusing what happened. It’s about understanding it — because prevention starts long before a mother ever enters a courtroom.
