Summary
Lindsay Clancy spent her career as a labor and delivery nurse helping mothers through the most vulnerable moments of their lives. Prosecutors say that same job is proof she knew exactly how to work the people who were supposed to save her. She's charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan, at their Duxbury, Massachusetts home on January 24, 2023. She's pleading not guilty by reason of insanity. Roughly three months before the killings, prosecutors say she typed something about her older children into her phone, a note a prosecutor later read aloud in court. The Commonwealth's case leans on the mundane: a text at 4:53 saying she didn't feel like cooking, a takeout order at 5:10, her husband out the door at 5:15 for dinner and a pharmacy run, back a little after six. Prosecutors say she measured that window using the exact clinical composure her job trained into her. The defense says she'd been begging that same medical system for help for weeks and was handed prescriptions instead. She's permanently paralyzed after going out a second-story window the night her children died. If convicted of first-degree murder, Massachusetts law gives the judge no discretion: mandatory life without parole. If she's found not criminally responsible, she's committed to a locked state psychiatric hospital instead, not set free. She's already been in state custody since 2023. Jury selection began July 20 in Plymouth Superior Court. The job that once meant she saved lives is now the state's argument for why she took some.
