Lindsay Clancy trial live updates: Mysterious jury drama as chaplain reveals killer mom’s haunting reaction to kids’ deaths

Chaplain Sheila Cavanaugh told the jury that Lindsay Clancy told her several times that she heard voices telling her to kill her kids.

She said “if she didn’t follow the command neither she nor her family would be safe,” Cavanaugh recalled.

“It was a male voice and it was persistent,” Cavanaugh said Clancy told her.

“The voice conversation came up several times during several of our visits,” the chaplain recounted.

On cross-examination, Jennifer Sprague pressed Cavanaugh on why she never put in her notes that Clancy mentioned voices.

Cavanaugh said the notes weren’t taken down word for word.

Lindsay Clancy told a hospital chaplain one week after strangling her three young kids that she was “so glad my children are safe.”

Sheila Cavanaugh — a chaplain who visited Clancy several times at Brigham and Women’s Hospital — went to Clancy’s hospital room on Jan. 25, 2023, and the next day too, but she couldn’t speak because she was intubated.

Cavanaugh saw her again on Jan. 31 after Clancy’s intubation tube had been taken out — and exactly one week after she killed Cora, Dawson and Callan.

The chaplain held Clancy’s hand as the killer mom told her: “I’m so glad my children are safe.”

“You’re children are safe, they are safe in heaven with God,” Cavanaugh said she responded.

The strange parade of jurors being called up to speak with Judge William Sullivan one by one this morning isn’t something we’ve seen before in 16 days of the Lindsay Clancy trial.

The individual interviews with the justice were all very short and quiet, so it’s unclear exactly what was said.

Typically, Judge Sullivan starts the day by asking the 18-person jury, all together and aloud in the courtroom, if they’ve consumed any media that would affect their ability to be impartial.

Sullivan appeared to ask each juror a single question, to which the juror would say “no,” and the interview would end, according to live coverage from the Patriot Ledger.

Lindsay Clancy appeared a bit alarmed as she turned toward her defense attorney Kevin Reddington.

A large group of Lindsay Clancy supporters gathered outside Plymouth Superior Court in Massachusetts on Thursday as the killer mom’s defense wraps up their case:

Many of the demonstrators wore pink in support of Clancy, who is on trial for the murder of her three young children.

Clancy’s defense argues she was experiencing severe postpartum psychosis when she strangled her daughter and two sons in January 2023.

Jurors were questioned at sidebar before the trial kicked off Thursday.

The panelists were sworn in and then asked questions from the judge, one by one, according to a report by a court commentator with NBC10 Boston.
