Mother’s Guilt or Deliberate Crime | Boston News

Lindsay Clancy, accused of murdering her three young children in January 2023, is nearing the end of her trial — and the courtroom is split. She admits to strangling them but claims she was driven by voices and postpartum psychosis. Prosecutors counter that she acted with cold calculation, tired of motherhood, and paralyzed from a suicide attempt that same night. Friends and family paint her as a devoted mom who struggled with sleep and mental health after her third child’s birth. Medical and daycare testimony adds layers: her pediatrician praised her as caring, teachers noted behavioral shifts in the kids, and a Facebook post calling one son “the most difficult human” has become a flashpoint — used by prosecutors to show intent, by defense attorneys to prove no abuse occurred.
