Lindsay Clancy trial spotlights psychiatric hospital stay before she killed her 3 childrenLindsay Clancy 's murder trial zeroed in Friday on the nearly five days that the Massachusetts mother spent in a psychiatric hospital a few weeks before she killed her three children. In questioning one of her McLean Hospital psychiatrists on Friday, a prosecutor underscored that Clancy denied to hospital clinicians that she wanted to hurt anyone else or planned to kill herself. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to murder charges in the January 2023 strangling deaths of Callan, Dawson and Cora Clancy, who ranged from 8 months to 5 years old. Nor did the providers talk to various outpatient clinicians who had treated Clancy over the prior months, though they did speak to her husband. If found not guilty due to a lack of criminal responsibility, she would be committed to a state mental health facility.
