Why it matters
This high-profile murder trial highlights the intersection of mental health, criminal justice, and domestic tragedy.
Jurors on Wednesday heard the gut-wrenching 911 call Patrick Clancy made after he found his young sons and daughter with exercise bands around their necks during the murder trial of his former wife, Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother accused of killing their three children in 2023. Lindsay Clancy was indicted on three counts each of murder in the 2023 deaths of her 5-year-old daughter Cora, 3-year-old son Dawson and 8-month-old son Callan. She pleaded not guilty to the charges. She became a paraplegic after harming herself in the immediate aftermath of her children's deaths. Patrick Clancy testified that he left Lindsay Clancy home with the children on the evening of Jan. 24, 2023, to pick up medication and dinner, and when he returned, the home was quiet. He said he entered his bedroom and "saw blood everywhere, and the window was open."
