Lindsay Clancy's diary excerpts read at trial: "I feel like I'm drowning"
The Lindsay Clancy trial resumed with excerpts from her diary and testimony from doctors who treated Clancy and her children on the night of the murders.
The Lindsay Clancy murder trial concluded on Monday in Plymouth Superior Court following a week of emotionally charged testimony. Prosecutors allege Clancy intentionally strangled her three children, 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Callan, on January 24, 2023. The defense claims she was under the influence of medication and experienced extreme postpartum psychosis during the killings.
Upon reading excerpts from Clancy's diary, prosecutors emphasized her obsession with her children's sleep schedules and feelings of being overwhelmed. In one entry dated November 18, 2022, Clancy wrote, "I feel like I'm drowning every day." Her mental health, described by doctors as "horribly guilty," "crazy brain fog," and "horror," was evident during her hospitalization, where she questioned her ability to function and connect with her ex-husband.
