Lindsay Clancy defense to rest Friday after final witness
Lindsay Clancy's defense attorney plans to rest their case later Friday after calling one final witness to testify about the effects of postpartum psychosis.
Prosecutors plan to call three additional witnesses as part of a brief rebuttal case , and closing arguments could happen as early as Monday.
Clancy is facing three counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of her 5-year-old daughter Cora, 3-year-old son Dawson, and infant son Callan at her family's home in the Boston suburb of Duxbury on Jan. 24, 2023. She has pleaded not guilty.
Clancy's attorney Kevin Reddington has argued that Clancy was suffering from postpartum psychosis when she strangled her three children and attempted to take her own life.
Defense lawyers do not contest that Clancy was responsible for the deaths of her three children. Instead, they argue she should not be held criminally responsible for their deaths because she was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time.
