Clancy’s Trial and Mental Health in Court | Rochester News

In a chilling courtroom drama, jurors confront harrowing autopsy images as Lindsay Clancy, accused of murdering her three young children, breaks down in tears—her defense claiming she was too mentally ill to be held responsible. Prosecutors counter that she acted with intent, even alleging she manipulated her husband into leaving before the fatal January 24, 2023, incident, which also left her paralyzed after a fall.
