The Lindsay Clancy murder trialenters day 15 of testimony on Tuesday, Aug. 18 at Plymouth Superior Court, a day after the prosecution rested its case against the 36-year-old Duxbury following testimony from 71 witnesses.
On Monday, Aug. 17, attorney Kevin Reddington launched his defense, calling Clancy’s sister and mother to the witness stand. They testified about Clancy’s mental condition in the months, weeks and days leading up to the killings on Jan. 24, 2023.
Clancy is charged with three counts of first-degree murder in deaths of her children Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months. The prosecution argued that she acted acted deliberately and rationally when she strangled the children to death in the basement of their Duxbury home, sending her then-husband Patrick Clancy out on errands to provide the opportunity.
