Kid-killing mom Lindsay Clancys gruesome slay trial set to open with haunting details and biggest witness on stand first

Horrific details in the case of accused murderous Massachusetts mom Lindsay Clancy, who fatally strangled her three young children, will begin pouring out in court this week. Clancy’s legal team and the prosecution are expected to deliver highly anticipated opening statements in the triple-slay trial starting Monday morning, after a jury pool of 12 women and six men were locked in last week. The killer mom’s ex-husband, Patrick Clancy – who now lives in New York City with his new wife, infertility specialist Rachel Danis – is slated to testify as the first witness. Patrick – who discovered his and Lindsay’s three kids dead in their Duxbury home in January 2023 – is going to take the stand for the prosecution first, though he’s also on the defense team’s witness list, according to the Boston Globe.The dad will likely face questions about his marriage with Clancy, their home life and his perception of his then-wife’s mental state leading up to the grisly killings, as well as his version of events that fateful day, the outlet reported. Lindsay’s lawyer, Kevin Reddington, will then have the opportunity to cross-examine Patrick and bring up points that are essential to the defense’s insanity argument, including the mom’s repeated efforts to get help for postpartum psychosis. The trial’s outcome will hinge on whether jurors believe the former nurse was suffering from a psychiatric episode, worsened by a cocktail of antipsychotic medications, when she strangled the children to death, according to experts. “The whole case is just her state of mind and whether she was aware of right from wrong and literally if [she was aware] what she was doing was going to end up killing her kids,” former prosecutor Mark Bederow told The Post. Clancy is accused of using exercise bands to choke the life out of her children in the basement of the family’s home before becoming paralyzed from the waist down from a later botched bid to kill herself. Pros...
