Trial Begins for Massachusetts Mother Charged with Killing Three Children
The trial of Lindsay Clancy, charged with murdering her three children in Duxbury, Massachusetts, began with opening statements and testimony from her ex-husband, Patrick Clancy. The children died in January 2023, and Clancy attempted suicide afterward, resulting in paralysis. Prosecutors allege premeditation using exercise bands, while the defense cites severe postpartum psychosis and heavy medication as factors. Patrick Clancy, who discovered the children, has since remarried. Sensitive evidence will be shown only to the jury.
