Lindsay Clancy, who has admitted to killing her three children but pleaded not guilty due to postpartum psychosis, was “begging for help” in the months leading up to the killings, her former mother-in-law testified at her murder trial. The defense presented testimony indicating Clancy sought assistance with her mental health struggles prior to the incident. A psychologist testified Tuesday that Clancy told her a voice had ordered her to kill her children.
The testimony from Clancy’s former mother-in-law corroborates claims that Clancy was struggling and actively seeking support. The psychologist’s account details Clancy’s explanation for the killings, attributing them to auditory hallucinations. Clancy has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, citing postpartum psychosis as the cause of her actions. No right-leaning outlets reported on this specific testimony.
The case continues in Massachusetts court, with the focus now on determining the extent to which Clancy’s mental state contributed to the deaths of her children and her subsequent attempt to end her own life. The trial is currently in its fourth week, and the defense is building its case around the claim that Clancy was experiencing a severe mental health crisis at the time of the tragedy.
