Lindsay Clancy admitted killing her three young children in January 2023. Her lawyers contend she experienced severe mental illness, but prosecutors allege she intentionally strangled Cora, Dawson, and Callan at their Duxbury home. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, found their children dead after she sent him on errands and testified about her declining mental health.
