Clancy’s Strangulation Charges Dropped | Providence News

Prosecutors drop three strangulation charges against Lindsay Clancy ahead of her murder trial, calling them redundant since they’re already covered by the murder indictments. The horrific incident in January last year saw Clancy allegedly strangle her three young children with exercise bands before jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed. Her defense will argue she lacked criminal responsibility due to postpartum depression and medication issues, while prosecutors claim the killings were premeditated, citing evidence like sending her husband on an errand and using Apple Maps to track his return. The trial, set to last six to eight weeks, will feature over 200 witnesses and be presided over by Judge William Sullivan, with jurors instructed to avoid media and outside research. This deeply disturbing case now hinges on the upcoming courtroom battle over intent and mental state. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
