Watch video: Lindsay Clancy breaks down during trial as attorney Kevin Reddington holds hand; ‘I can’t do this…'

Video footage captured a distraught Lindsay Clancy during a trial in Massachusetts, where she is on trial for the murder of her children - Cora, Dawson, and Callan. Ms. Clancy's attorney, Kevin Reddington, was seen holding her hand as she sobbed uncontrollably and interrupted the medical examiner's testimony. The medical examiner shared details from Clancy's daughter's autopsy, describing the use of an IV and the physical trauma she sustained.

Clancy confessed to strangling her children and then harming herself by slitting her wrists and jumping out of a second-story window. Clancy pleaded not guilty to the charges, citing severe postpartum psychosis and the overmedication she received. The judge intervened, asking Reddington to control Clancy, and the hearing was adjourned for a break.

Reddington and two others assisted Clancy, who was wheeled away on a wheelchair as she continued to sob. Many people expressed sympathy for Clancy, questioning the effectiveness of the mental health system in handling her case.
