Lindsay Clancy Offers to Admit to Killing Her Kids to Tailor Upcoming Trial

Her lawyer says she will stipulate to the killings if jurors first decide only whether she was criminally responsible.

  • The defense team for Duxbury mother Lindsay Clancy filed a new motion last week asking a judge to reconsider a ruling denying her request to split her upcoming murder trial into two phases.
  • Prosecutors allege that on January 24, 2023, Clancy strangled her three children—Cora Clancy, 5; Dawson Clancy, 3; and Callan Clancy, 8 months—with exercise bands at their Duxbury home.
  • Defense attorney Kevin Reddington offered a formal written stipulation admitting Clancy killed the children, arguing this leaves her mental state as the only 'live issue' for jurors to decide.
  • Opposing the motion, the Commonwealth argued that evidence for both potential phases would be 'nearly identical' and that they have a right to 'prove its case.'
  • Clancy's trial is scheduled to begin July 20, 2026, where the defense plans to argue she was suffering from postpartum depression and was overmedicated at the time of the killings.
