Jury deliberating in Lindsay Clancy's trial
Lawyers made their closing arguments in Lindsay Clancy's trial on Thursday. The prosecution argued that she not only killed her three young children, but planned the murder and knew it was wrong. The defense called Clancy a woman who lived for her children and had been crying out for help that never came. Shanelle Kaul has more from the Massachusetts courthouse and Caroline Polisi breaks it down.
The Lindsay Clancy murder trial is currently underway in Plymouth Superior Court, Massachusetts following a month of testimony surrounding the deaths of her three children in 2023. Jury deliberations began on August 27, 2026, after closing arguments concluded the previous day. Clancy, 36, faces murder charges for the deaths of her children: Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months.
She maintains that she is not criminally responsible for the murders. The tragedy occurred on January 24, 2023, when Clancy, who was on maternity leave as a labor and delivery nurse, strangled her children with exercise bands at their home in Duxbury, Massachusetts. Their father discovered the bodies in the basement upon returning from his errands that Clancy had asked him to run.
Clancy was found injured outside, having jumped from a second-story window, and now remains paralyzed from the waist down, using a wheelchair.
