What is Toyota affordability? It all starts with buying smart, and your Toyota dealer has great deals available to qualified customers on reliable cars and SUVs, including the redesigned RAV4, spacious Grand Highlander, sporty Camrys, and Corollas. It means driving for less with efficient hybrid and plug in hybrid options available throughout the lineup, extending your overall driving range and delivering great MPGs, saving you money at the pump. And it means trading for more. Toyota is known for building long lasting vehicles and has the best resale value brand. According to Kelly Blue Book, your Toyota can be worth thousands more than average when it's time to trade in. That's Toyota affordability.

As a warning, some of this content contains graphic and disturbing details, including discussions of suicide and the killing of children. So please listen or watch with care. We'll have resources at the end of the episode.
So we asked her, you know, how are you feeling? Horrified. And then she wrote down, do I have an attorney? And I said with my team that at this time, we're just getting to know you and getting to know the case. And we're not sure exactly, you know, what is happening. And... We asked her, do you have questions for us? And she asked, is my body broken? Are my legs straight?
That was Dr. Jillem Biswas, a psychiatrist from Brigham and Women's Hospital. Biswas consulted on Lindsay Clancy's treatment in January 2023 after the then 32-year-old mother killed her three children and harmed herself at the family's Duxbury, Massachusetts home. This is a trial that is so hard to watch, and yet it's hard to look away from. As a reminder, Lindsay is on trial for three counts of first-degree murder. But this is not a case of did she do it, but why. Her defense is arguing that she should not be held criminally responsible for the deaths of her children by reason of mental disease or defect, that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time, exacerbated by the medication she was taking.
Under Massachusetts law, jurors will have to decide whether Lindsay knew that what she was doing was wrong at the time of the deaths, but also whether she had control of her actions at that time. Clearly, it's a complex case. Opening statements began on July 27th, with a trial expected to last several weeks. This week, jurors heard passages from Lindsay's journal, as well as testimonies from doctors and nurses about Lindsay's medical treatment and the efforts to save her three young children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan. We've been following this case closely, and we covered the first week of the trial in our last episode.

Almost two weeks now. Thank you for having me.
Well, you've been covering this case literally from day one. You were actually reporting from the Clancy home on the night of January 24th, 2023, when these deaths occurred. And you have been present in the courtroom at some extremely intense moments. You heard Patrick Clancy's testimony. his chilly 911 call, along with testimonies from first responders on the scene. So my first question, honestly, is about you. How are you doing? This has to have been tough on you.
Yeah, I mean, thank you for asking. That 911 call is going to stick out in my mind for sure as the most harrowing thing I've ever heard in my 10 years of reporting.
