Lindsay Clancy listens to medical testimony from doctors who treated her children during her trial. Clancy, 36, does not deny she killed her three young children, but her attorney argues she should not be held criminally responsible because she was suffering from postpartum psychosis when she strangled them.

The Lindsay Clancy case in Massachusetts has sparked conversations about perinatal mood disorders. Many of us are trying to learn more about postpartum psychosis. A local expert is here to oblige.

Finally, some cool spots to look for in your neighborhoods and Tampa Bay Comic Con is more than just costumes.

The 72-hour loophole

(21:02) Florida jails are only supposed to hold immigrants for ICE for 72 hours. But an investigation found hundreds of people were repeatedly rebooked, allowing some to remain in county jails much longer. We examine how it was done, what federal law says and what’s changed.

Tampa Bay Comic Con

(36:04) For fans of this weekend's event, cosplay is more than dressing up. One event guest has spent two decades bringing characters to life, creating nearly 300 costumes along the way. Their background in art and voice acting created a passion that has turned into a creative career.
