Lindsay Clancy cries during murder trial as jurors view autopsy photos of her youngest child

Lindsay Clancy broke down in court Thursday as jurors were shown autopsy photos of her youngest child. Clancy has admitted to killing her three young children, but has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder, arguing she was experiencing extreme postpartum psychosis. CBS News' Shanelle Kaul has more.

Lindsay Clancy, a former labor-and-delivery nurse at Massachusetts General Hospital, is on trial for the murder of her three children in Duxbury, Massachusetts in January 2023. Her defense claims she suffered from severe mental illness, while prosecutors argue the killings were intentional. Clancy's finances and career background have been in the spotlight as her trial continues.

As a registered nurse, she would have earned around $52.33 per hour on average, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics in May 2023. The Clancy family owned a home in Duxbury that they bought for $500,000 in 2018 and later sold for $675,000 in January 2024. However, the exact amount Lindsay received from the sale is not publicly known.

Patrick Clancy, her ex-husband, has launched a GoFundMe campaign that raised over $1 million, but the funds were not used for Lindsay Clancy's legal defense, as confirmed by her attorney. Public funds have been allocated for Clancy's defense, covering up to $17,500 in fees for mental-health experts hired by her legal team. The total legal expenses have not been disclosed, and any figures presented as Lindsay Clancy's net worth are speculative and unverified.
