Lindsay Clancy trial live updates: Testimony resumes after forensic psychiatrist claims ‘inconsistencies’

What to know about the trial The presentation of evidence is expected to conclude today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, who killed her three young children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months — at their home in January 2023. Clancy’s mental health is a key issue at her trial. Prosecutors have said she deliberately killed her kids, while her defense team has said she was experiencing postpartum psychosis and was unable to appreciate the wrongfulness of her actions. The prosecution’s final witnesses tried to cast doubt on claims that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and that a voice ordered her to kill her three children. Her defense attorney highlighted earlier testimony from Clancy’s friends and family members, including Patrick Clancy, who described her as “an incredible mother taking care of her kids.” The five-week trial has taken over podcasts, social media and conversations beyond the Massachusetts courtroom. Clancy, 36, has also emerged as a symbol of the gaps in maternal healthcare. Closing arguments could begin Thursday, the judge said.
