Lindsay Clancy sobs at murder trial as jurors view autopsy photos of her youngest child
Jurors heard psychiatrists describe months of treatment, medication changes and suicidal thoughts as the defense argues postpartum psychosis.
- On Thursday, Lindsay Clancy sobbed uncontrollably as jurors viewed autopsy photos of her youngest child, prompting an unscheduled court break. She has pleaded not guilty to murder charges in the deaths of Cora, Dawson, and Callan.
- Defense attorneys argue that Lindsay Clancy was too mentally ill to bear criminal responsibility for killing her three children on Jan. 24, 2023. Prosecutors contend the 35-year former nurse acted intentionally, using a ruse to send her husband out on errands.
- Witnesses testified that Lindsay Clancy struggled with insomnia and medication side effects before the killings. She messaged Andrea Hennigan about experiencing "bad or negative side effects" and told a friend she felt "like a zombie" from the medications.
- Prosecutors brought friends and a former colleague to testify about Lindsay Clancy's mental state in the weeks before the killings. None of the witnesses testified hearing her express suicidal or homicidal thoughts or mention hearing voices.
- The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court recently ordered a retrial for Latarsha Sanders, who killed her two children. Justice Frank M. Gaziano wrote that withholding medical records "impermissibly stripped" the defense of its foundation, precedent potentially relevant to Clancy's case.
