What Lindsay Clancy Warned Her Doctors She Was

A jury is now seated in Plymouth Superior Court to decide something nobody fully agrees on: whether Lindsay Clancy was criminally responsible when her three children died. Eight days before it happened, she told her doctors what was going on inside her mind, and the record of what she said is now part of the case both sides are building. 
The prosecution isn’t disputing that she killed Cora, Dawson, and Callan Clancy. ADA Jennifer Sprague argues she mapped her husband’s errand route on Apple Maps, calculated the window, and used exercise bands deliberately. To the Commonwealth, that’s a woman who knew precisely what she was doing. 
The defense doesn’t dispute the deaths either. Kevin Reddington is arguing postpartum psychosis, backed by a medical record showing thirteen psychiatric medications in four months, an ER visit, a McLean Hospital admission, and a husband who told doctors she’d turned into a zombie. The court denied a motion to split the trial into two phases. 
Then there’s the whiteboard. Intubated and unable to speak after it was over, Lindsay Clancy wrote one question, and it’s a detail that cuts straight to what this whole trial is trying to determine. 
Patrick Clancy is on both witness lists, called first by the prosecution and expected to testify for the defense as well. He’s filed a malpractice suit against her doctors and told a reporter he wasn’t married to a monster. We also walk through the Andrea Yates case, where a first jury convicted and a second jury acquitted on strikingly similar facts, and what that means for a Massachusetts jury operating under an even higher legal bar. Two juries have looked at nearly identical facts before and split completely. This jury still has to choose.
