Lindsay Clancy audibly wept as a medical examiner testified about the autopsy she performed on the Massachusetts mother\u2019s 8-month-old baby boy.<\/p>\n

Dr. Kimberly Springer was questioned for roughly 20 minutes about examining Clancy\u2019s youngest son Callan as the mom \u2013 wearing a light brown long-sleeved blouse \u2013 sobbed through nearly the entire testimony before Judge William Sullivan called a recess around 9:45 a.m.<\/p>\n

The judge initially told the jury in the morning that the first break would come around 11 a.m. <\/p>\n

Clancy is accused of strangling her three kids with exercise bands at her Duxbury home before slitting her wrists and neck and throwing herself out of a second-story window on Jan. 24, 2023.<\/p>\n

She was partially paralyzed from the botched suicide attempt and now appears in court in a wheelchair.<\/p>\n

Springer and the jury were shown harrowing photos from Callan\u2019s autopsy while the ME explained the baby\u2019s injuries and cause of death.<\/p>\n

Sullivan previously ruled those images will not be made public.<\/p>\n

Callan had \u201cabrasions\u201d on his neck and on his head, the doctor explained.<\/p>\n

He also had puncture wounds from where the hospital had inserted and attempted to insert intravenous fluids.<\/p>\n

Doctors were able to restart Callan\u2019s heart, and he was kept alive on life support for three days until it was determined that he was brain dead, according to testimony.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors claimed Clancy carefully planned the slayings because she was tired of taking care of her kids, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan.<\/p>\n

But Clancy\u2019s lawyer, Kevin Reddington, will ask the jury to find her not guilty by reason of insanity, claiming she was in the throes of severe postpartum psychosis and was hearing voices.<\/p>\n

Clancy had landed in the hospital twice before the murders for suicidal thoughts and she told her then-husband, Patrick Clancy, and her mom about having thoughts of harming the kids, according to testimony.<\/p>\n

She also journaled about her excruciating inner torment and dark thoughts \u2013 saying she wanted to die\u00a0in response to hearing Callan\u2019s cries during sleep training and was \u201cdesperate to get a mental break from taking care of everyone,\u201d according to excerpts read to a jury.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Lindsay Clancy has repeatedly been seen crying throughout parts of her highly anticipated murder trial, which kicked off in a Plymouth County courtroom last week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Judge Sullivan has said it could last up to eight weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
