WATCH LIVE: Attorneys make closing arguments in Lindsay Clancy trial
The prosecution and defense will each have an hour to make their final case before the jury receives instructions and begins deliberating.
A Massachusetts mother, Lindsay Clancy, is on trial for allegedly murdering her three young children in her family's home on January 24, 2023. Clancy pleaded not guilty to the three counts of first-degree murder. Her defense claims she suffered from postpartum psychosis during the incident and attempted suicide. Prosecutors argue that Clancy, despite having access to healthcare, was not criminally responsible for her actions.
If convicted, she faces life in prison without parole. The jury began deliberations in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy. Jurors were instructed to base their decision on the evidence and not personal biases. Prosecutor Jennifer Sprague argued that Clancy misled medical providers for her own benefit and failed to follow medical advice.
Defense attorney Kevin Reddington highlighted Clancy's nursing career, suggesting she should have known better. He also showed photos of the Clancy family and Clancy after her suicide attempt, arguing she was a caring mother with no motive to kill her children.
