LIVE: MA v Lindsay Clancy Trial Day 1 💥 Post-Partum Psychosis Defense

MA v Lindsay Clancy

Trial Day 1

Plymouth County, Massachusetts

Judge William Sullivan

SUMMARY:

Lindsay Clancy, 35, a labor & delivery nurse, is accused of k*lling her three children (aged 5, 3 & 8 months) on 1/24/23, with exercise bands, after her husband went to pick up takeout, and became a paraplegic after jumping out of a second-story window at her Duxbury home, in a failed attempt to take her own life. Her attorney, Kevin J. Reddington, has argued that she was overmedicated and had undiagnosed postpartum depression, culminating in a psychotic break. Clancy has been under the custody of the Department of Mental Health since at least May 2023, and is being held at Tewksbury Hospital.

Lindsay has pleaded not guilty to three counts of m*rder. Str*ngulation charges were recently dropped by the Commonwealth. Clancy is asserting a “lack of criminal responsibility” defense, commonly known as the insanity defense. In Massachusetts, a defendant is not criminally responsible for a crime if, at the time of the offense, they suffered from a mental disease or defect, and as a result, either lacked the capacity to appreciate the wrongfulness of their conduct, or lacked the ability to conform their conduct to the requirements of the law. Once the defense is properly raised (through credible expert testimony), the burden shifts to the government to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the Defendant was NOT legally insane at the time the acts were committed- even if the Defendant admits to committing the acts.
