Lindsay Clancy Trial: Calculated Killings? Stunning New Evidence Raises Serious Questions

Was 35-year-old Lindsay Clancy a mother consumed by severe postpartum mental illness or a calculating killer who sent her husband away before strangling their three children? Lindsay Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse, admits killing five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson, and eight-month-old Callan with exercise bands inside their Duxbury, Massachusetts home in January 2023, then cutting herself and jumping from a second-story window. Prosecutors say she deliberately created an opportunity to be alone with the children and knew her actions were wrong. Her defense argues she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and should be found not guilty by reason of insanity. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield is joined by renowned criminologist, attorney, and Criminal Appeal host Dr. Casey Jordan to dissect the most pivotal testimony and evidence to emerge from the Lindsay Clancy trial. They examine the disturbing evidence pointing to both psychosis and planning, and the question now facing the jury: Was Lindsay so mentally ill that she could no longer distinguish right from wrong, or was she fully aware that murdering her children was wrong?
