Medical expert testimonies support opposing views in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial
Lindsay Clancy's murder trial will begin wrapping up soon after today's closing arguments. CBS News legal contributor Rebecca Roiphe shares her thoughts on the final day of witness testimony.
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.
