In this meeting with the Bob's, Motta gives us the facts of the case that grabbed all the headlines over the last few weeks. Lindsay Clancy was being tried for the murder of her three children.

The question at trial was whether or not she should be held criminally responsible for the murders, due to her suffering from postpartum psychosis. Bob explains the legal theory, breaks down the facts, and shares his experience from being inside the courtroom during trial.
