Lindsay Clancy has not taken the stand, but the Massachusetts mother accused of killing her three children communicated in multiple ways at her murder trial this week.
She vocally answered the judge’s questions about a legal issue, her first audible words in the trial. She sobbed and shook during difficult testimony about the autopsy of her infant son. And her diary entries about her parenting stresses and postpartum issues were read aloud in court.
Together, Clancy’s vocal, physical and written messages offered key insights into her perspective in the second week of her trial on three counts of murder in the killings of her children Cora, 5; Dawson, 3; and Callan, 8 months.
This week’s proceedings in a Plymouth, Massachusetts, courtroom also featured testimony about her mental health status before and after the killings, her physical injuries from her suicide attempt, and her friends’ and family’s concerns.
