Why did Patrick Clancy divorce Lindsay Clancy? He once asked public to forgive ex-wife, ‘I wasn’t married to a monster’

Patrick Clancy divorced Lindsay Clancy after she was accused of murdering their three children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan. The former husband testified during Lindsay's trial in Plymouth, Massachusetts, about finding his kids fatally injured in the basement of their Duxbury home with exercise resistance bands around their necks. He expressed surprise at her remarriage to Rachel Danis, a reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist, while maintaining that she was not a "monster" but rather a mother who was suffering from mental health challenges.

Lindsay has pleaded not guilty to the murder charges, claiming she was in a psychotic episode due to postpartum mental illness. If convicted, she could face life in prison without parole, or be committed to a state mental health facility if found not guilty by reason of insanity.
