Lindsay Clancy begged for help before her children's killings, mother-in-law testifies

Lindsay Clancy, a 36-year-old Massachusetts nurse, is on trial for the deaths of her three young children in January 2023, though her defense argues she was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time. Family members testified that Clancy had been desperately seeking medical help as her mental health declined following the birth of her youngest child, experiencing insomnia, anxiety, hallucinations, and thoughts of harming her children and herself. While prosecutors claim she made a calculated decision to strangle her children with fitness bands before jumping from a window, the defense maintains she was experiencing severe postpartum mental illness and had even checked herself into a psychiatric hospital shortly before the incident.
