Lindsay Clancy Trial: Friend and Father-in-Law Paint Two Very Different Pictures

Two witnesses who knew Lindsay Clancy from opposite sides of her life took the stand today in her murder trial — and together they complicated the story more than they simplified it. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is accused of strangling her three children — 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's pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, with attorney Kevin Reddington mounting an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.

Amy Bevins, a licensed behavior analyst for autistic children who's known Clancy for 29 years, testified that Dawson's delivery was difficult — but that right before the killings, Lindsay actually seemed hopeful. On cross, she admitted the two of them had texted repeatedly about how hard the prescribed medications were to tolerate, and that after the tragedy, on her mental health providers' advice, they simply stopped discussing the children at all.

Then came Christopher W. Clancy, Patrick's father, describing a daughter-in-law who was fiercely protective of baby Callan, though he'd noticed real frustration when it came to Dawson. He confirmed what's becoming a running theme in this trial: trouble sleeping, an ER visit, real strain — but by his account, Lindsay mostly seemed to be in good spirits. Two witnesses, two vantage points, and a jury left to reconcile "hopeful" and "good spirits" with what happened days later.

Prosecutors still argue Clancy understood exactly what she was doing. After the killings, she allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and remains paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick, was running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.
