Lindsay Clancy admitted to killing her three children but her trial questions her sanity. The internet is buzzing with theories

As testimony continues in the Massachusetts murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, social media is divided. Some call for maximum punishment for a calculated crime, while others argue the former nurse was trapped in a devastating psychiatric crisis.

Clancy, 36, a former labor and delivery nurse from Duxbury, Massachusetts, is charged with first-degree murder in the January 2023 deaths of her three children: 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan.
