Lindsay Clancy Trial: What Boston Children's Hospital Doctors Saw That Night

The doctors who treated Lindsay Clancy's three children took the stand today in her murder trial. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is accused of strangling 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and is mounting an insanity defense — attorney Kevin Reddington argues she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication when it happened.Dr. Michael Snyder of Beth Israel Hospital, Dr. Andrew Capraro from the Boston Children's Hospital ER, and Dr. David Casavant from the Boston Children's ICU testified about how the children arrived and what treatment looked like once they got there. Central to their testimony: the brain injuries caused by lack of oxygen, injuries that hit hardest in Callan, the youngest and most vulnerable of the three. When doctors describe irreversible brain damage in a baby who hadn't even started crawling, there's no legal maneuvering that softens it. That's the part of this trial no defense strategy gets to touch.Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out of the home running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial, underway in Plymouth Superior Court before Judge William F. Sullivan, is expected to last several weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
