The bloodied clothing Lindsay Clancy wore the night she strangled her three children, then attempted to kill herself, was shown to the jury.

Prosecutor Shanan Buckingham displayed Clancy’s dark tank top, blue jeans and gray sports bra that she was wearing that night. The clothing had been cut down the middle by medical staff who treated Clancy.

Clancy, 36, is on trial for killing her three children, Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan, at her home in Duxbury, Massachusetts, in January 2023.

Her suicide attempt after the killings failed but left her paralyzed and in a wheelchair for life.

Nurse practitioner Rebecca Jollotta told the court on Tuesday that Clancy was exhibiting ‘manic symptoms’ and suggested she may be bipolar, but her husband, Patrick Clancy, shut down the possible diagnosis.

Clancy has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, citing postpartum psychosis, and is also suing her former healthcare providers for medical malpractice and negligence.

Tearful teacher reveals Lindsay Clancy’s daughter’s concerning behavior just one day before killings

Susan Bertolo also worked at Learning Sprouts preschool that Cora and Dawson attended.

She looked after the ‘Sunflower’ room – which Cora attended three days a week in the mornings.

On Thursday, Bertolo teared up as she described Cora as an ‘amazing’ and ‘wonderful’ preschool student who she was ready to go into kindergarten.

Cora’s preschool teacher teared up as she recalled the last day she saw Cora.

On the morning of January 23, 2023, Cora was dropped off at preschool.

That day, she needed to use the bathroom more than normal, Bertolo said. She noted that she was concerned because this was out of the ordinary for the child, and told another teacher.

When she told Clancy at pickup, she said she had a doctor’s appointment for Cora the next day.

The five-year-old was complaining that her tummy hurt and didn’t want to get up from her nap, her second teacher of the day, Stephanie Williams, told the court.

Williams told Clancy this when she picked her daughter up that afternoon.

Instead of Cora getting up and meeting her mom at the door to the classroom – as the children normally do – Clancy had to walk into the room and gently coax the girl to leave.

Clancy scooped up the little girl from her cot, saying to her: ‘Oh baby, come on let’s go get Dawson and we’ll go home.’

When asked if she noticed anything different about Clancy that day – or any day – she said: She was just a very loving mother who cared very much for her children.’

Then came the four horrifying words that laid bare the unspeakable scene that the father-of-three had just walked into.

‘She killed the kids!’

What sentence is Lindsay Clancy facing?

Lindsay Clancy is on trial for the murders of her three children, Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan, at her home in Duxbury in January 2023.

She has pleaded not guilty and claimed she is not responsible for her actions because she was suffering postpartum psychosis after being prescribed a powerful cocktail of drugs to cope with depression.

The prosecution has argued the killings were intentional and well planned, not the work of someone who had lost control.

If convicted of murder, she faces life in prison without parole.

If found not guilty due to a lack of criminal responsibility, she would be committed to a state mental health facility.

15450549 Lindsay Clancy was overmedicated on 12 prescription drugs that were "turning her into a zombie" - and causing her to experience homicidal thoughts that led to her allegedly strangling her three kids, according to her lawyer."One of the major issues here is the horrific overmedication of drugs that caused homicidal ideation, suicidal ideation,'' attorney Kevin Reddington told the Boston Globe on Friday.

Clancy murder trial discusses suicide

Lindsay Clancy, 36, is accused of murdering her three children – Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan – back in January 2023.

Although Clancy does not deny killing her children, she has pleaded not guilty and claimed she is not responsible for her actions because she was suffering postpartum psychosis.

On the day of the killings, Clancy asked her husband Patrick Clancy to leave their home to get takeout food and to pick up something at a pharmacy.

Clancy strangled the children with exercise bands, then used multiple methods to try to end her own life.

She was paralyzed after falling from the home’s second-story window, and is being held at a state hospital.

Mental health counselor Latiesha Dukes called to the stand

The next witness called to the stand is Latiesha Dukes, mental health counselor who treated Lindsay Clancy in South Shore’s perinatal behavioral health program in November and December 2022.

Dukes is currently being sued for malpractice by both Patrick Clancy and Lindsay Clancy separately.

The lawsuits allege that she – and several other providers who treated Clancy in the months leading up to the killings – overmedicated Clancy while treating her for postpartum mental health issues.

This overmedication led to her conditions worsening, and ultimately the deaths of her children, the suits allege.

The civil suits are still making their way through the courts.
