Beskrivelse

The trial of Lindsay Clancy, accused of murdering her three young children in 2023, has opened in Massachusetts, with prosecutors painting a chilling picture of a cold-blooded crime. But her defense argues she was consumed by postpartum psychosis — a rare, severe mental illness that can cause delusions and hallucinations — leaving her unable to grasp the consequences of her actions. As the jury weighs intent against mental capacity, the case raises urgent questions about accountability, mental health, and justice in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

Shekarchi’s Supreme Court Eligibility Ruled | Providence News

Former Rhode Island House Speaker Joe Shekarchi may be eligible to serve on the state Supreme Court, after Superior Court Judge Richard Licht ruled that the “revolving door” ethics law doesn’t apply to the judiciary — which is constitutionally established, not a regular government job. The ruling came after ethics concerns raised by figures like former law school dean Michael Yelnosky, who questioned Shekarchi’s swift transition. While the Ethics Commission is reviewing the decision and may appeal, advocacy groups are already calling for a constitutional amendment to close the loophole. The Judicial Nominating Commission will interview candidates, and Governor McKee will make the final nomination — pending legislative approval.

Shekarchi Clears Ethics Hurdle for Supreme Court | Providence News

A judge clears the way for former Rhode Island House Speaker Joe Shekarchi to run for the Supreme Court, ruling he doesn’t violate ethics rules by applying — a move that could reshape the state’s judicial nomination process. The decision, made just before his interview with the Judicial Nominating Commission, centers on whether applying for a constitutional office exempts him from “revolving-door” laws. While the judge sided with Shekarchi, saying the governor’s constitutional power can’t be blocked by ethics statutes, the ruling is likely to face appeal — possibly even by the very court Shekarchi seeks to join. Advocacy groups are already eyeing a constitutional amendment, while the commission presses ahead with interviews and nominations.
