Before killing her kids, Lindsay Clancy searched about hallucinations, psychosis and ways to die
Jurors heard that Clancy searched for hallucinations, psychosis and suicide methods as prosecutors argue she planned the killings and the defense cites mental illness.
- On Thursday, Massachusetts State Police cellphone forensics expert Tim Chiappini presented phone data at Lindsay Clancy's murder trial revealing searches for psychosis, hallucinations, and suicide methods in the weeks before she strangled her three children in January 2023.
- Defense attorney Kevin Reddington argues Clancy suffered from bipolar disorder and postpartum psychosis, citing an October 2022 note where she wrote she was "not enjoying any of my children, it was really sad."
- Prosecutors allege Clancy was an intentional killer who manipulated her husband, Patrick Clancy, by sending him to get takeout and medicine on January 24, 2023, to clear the house before the attack.
- Prosecutor Shanan Buckingham urged jurors not to view the trial as "a public debate about women," as the livestreamed proceedings attract intense public attention with conflicting medical evidence regarding Clancy's mental state.
- If convicted of murder, Clancy faces life in prison without parole; an acquittal based on lack of criminal responsibility would result in commitment to a state mental health facility.
