Lindsay Clancy prosecutors blasted for ‘terrible job’ by social media watchers and lawyers: ‘Cheap gimmick & a tactic…’

Several social media users and legal professionals have criticized the prosecutors in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial as doing a "terrible job" and employing "cheap gimmicks." Clancy, a 36-year-old Duxbury woman, is accused of strangling her three children—Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months—with exercise bands in their home.

She claims that her actions were due to postpartum psychosis, not responsibility for her behavior during that time. Despite this, Clancy maintains her not guilty plea, citing mental illness as the cause. Prosecutors, led by Assistant District Attorneys Jennifer Sprague and Shanan Buckingham, have faced backlash over their approach to presenting the case.

Critics argue that Buckingham's daily use of hair bows during the trial was a manipulative tactic aimed at influencing the jury, while others question the decision to have the medical examiner testify, which reportedly caused Clancy to break down in tears. Despite these criticisms, defense attorney Mark Eiglarsh maintains that the prosecution is performing an effective job, stating that they are well-prepared and knowledgeable about the evidence.
