Trial Underway for Massachusetts Mother Accused of Killing Three ChildrenPreviousNext

Lindsay Clancy, a Massachusetts mother, is on trial for the 2023 deaths of her three children, which she has admitted to but pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. The defense argues she suffered from severe postpartum psychosis, citing diary entries and psychiatric testimony about her mental health struggles. Prosecutors contend the killings were intentional and planned. The trial also covers Clancy's suicide attempt resulting in paralysis, with ongoing testimony expected to continue into late August or September.
