The murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, who is accused of killing her three children, is nearing a crucial stage, with questions growing over what could happen if the jury cannot reach a verdict or finds her not criminally responsible. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to murder, arguing that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and had been overmedicated when she fatally strangled her children.
Clancy is accused of killing her children, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, at their home in Duxbury, Massachusetts, on January 24, 2023. Her former husband, Patrick Clancy, testified during the trial about discovering the children and described Lindsay as a devoted mother who struggled with being separated from them.
