Mom accused of killing 3 children: Lindsay Clancy murder trial enters second week of testimony

The murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, a mother accused of strangling her three young children, resumed Monday with further testimony detailing the horrific events of January 2023. The proceedings entered their second week following an emotionally charged initial period that included wrenching accounts from witnesses and a jury visit to the family's home in Duxbury, Massachusetts.

Prosecutors are presenting their case against Clancy, who faces charges related to the deaths of her three children, Dawson, 7, Callan, 5, and Cora, 2. The defense has indicated they will pursue an insanity defense, arguing Clancy was suffering from postpartum depression and psychosis at the time of the killings.

Last week's testimony included accounts from first responders who discovered the scene and from Clancy's husband, Patrick Clancy, who was reportedly at work when the tragedy occurred. The trial is expected to continue with more evidence and witness statements as the court seeks to establish the circumstances and responsibility for the children's deaths.
