Patrick Clancy: "I think I did the best I could"
Asked whether he feels like he failed in some way, Patrick Clancy told 60 Minutes he believes he did the best he could with the information he had at the time.
Patrick Clancy reflected on the tragic murder of his ex-wife, Lindsay Clancy, and their three young children during her trial. He spoke with 60 Minutes alongside his wife, Dr. Rachel Danis, after a mistrial was declared. Clancy expressed his belief that he did his best given the information he had at the time, and he lives with the outcome daily.
He did not express any anger towards himself or a sense of failure. Lindsay Clancy's defense team claimed she was suffering from postpartum psychosis when she killed their three children - 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Callan - in January 2023. Court records showed that Lindsay Clancy sought help from various providers, received multiple medications, and spent several days in an inpatient psychiatric unit prior to the killings.
