PLYMOUTH, Mass. (AP) — Hundreds of Lindsay Clancy supporters, many wearing pink, gathered Thursday…

Hundreds of supporters of Lindsay Clancy, many dressed in pink, rallied outside the courthouse where she is on trial for the deaths of her three children, on Thursday, August 20, 2026 in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Clancy's lawyer maintains she is mentally ill and should not be held criminally responsible for the murders, though prosecutors allege she planned the killings and staged a suicide attempt to get her husband away.

The trial has highlighted postpartum psychosis, a rare mental illness linked to childbirth stress, sleep deprivation and hormonal changes. Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse, strangled her children before jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down.
