Lindsay Clancy trial: Jury being sent home for weekend
Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three murder charges.
Last Updated: August 28, 2026, 4:01 PM EDT
Jury deliberations are underway in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mom who killed her three young children while in the family's home on Jan. 24, 2023.
Clancy’s defense attorney claims she was suffering from postpartum psychosis when she strangled her children and attempted to take her own life. Prosecutors argue that Clancy -- who has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder -- is criminally responsible for her children's deaths.
If she is found guilty, Clancy could face life in prison without parole. If found not criminally responsible for the three murder charges, she will be sent to a state mental health facility.

Jury resumes deliberations
The jury in the triple murder trial of Lindsay Clancy resumed its deliberations Friday morning about whether the Massachusetts mother should be held criminally responsible for the strangulation deaths of her three children.
The 12 jurors – nine women and three men – are considering whether Clancy should not be held criminally responsible because she was allegedly in the throes of postpartum psychosis when she killed her children, or if she acted intentionally to murder them.
In addition to weighing Clancy’s state of mind against the elements of first and second-degree murder, jurors also have the option to consider whether her actions constitute manslaughter.
