Jurors in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial to hear closing arguments

Prosecutors say Lindsay Clancy acted intentionally and the defense cites postpartum psychosis, with more than 70 witnesses heard before jurors begin deliberations.

  • On Thursday, closing arguments began in the triple-murder trial of Lindsay Clancy in Plymouth, Massachusetts, where the 36-year-old former nurse is accused of strangling her three children in January 2023.
  • Defense attorneys contend Clancy is not criminally responsible, arguing she suffered from postpartum psychosis when she killed Cora, 5; Dawson, 3; and Callan, 8 months, in their Duxbury home.
  • Prosecutors argued Clancy acted "intentionally, rationally, and swiftly," while defense witness Resnick testified she was "clearly psychotic" and "not in control of her actions" on the day of the killings.
  • Before the jury is narrowed from 18 to 12 for deliberations, Judge William Sullivan will provide instructions on whether Clancy is criminally responsible or not guilty by reason of insanity.
  • Public interest remains high, with supporters wearing pink to raise awareness of postpartum psychosis, a mental health emergency that experts describe as affecting one's sense of reality.
