Editor\u2019s note: Coverage of this case is disturbing. Scroll with discretion<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Closing arguments are approaching after four grueling weeks of Lindsay Clancy\u2018s murder trial in Plymouth, Massachusetts, and the killer mom\u2019s defense attorney says that after nearly four weeks of sitting through brutal testimony about how she strangled her children, Clancy is \u201cso beat up and just so sad.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clancy is charged with three counts of first-degree murder and faces life in prison without parole if convicted.<\/p>\n

The defense\u00a0argues she is not criminally responsible\u00a0for her three kids\u2019 deaths because she was suffering from undiagnosed postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder, exacerbated by a dangerous cocktail of 13 powerful psychiatric medications.<\/p>\n

Chaplain Sheila Cavanaugh told the jury that Lindsay Clancy told her several times that she heard voices telling her to kill her kids.<\/p>\n

She said “if she didn’t follow the command neither she nor her family would be safe,” Cavanaugh recalled.<\/p>\n

“It was a male voice and it was persistent,” Cavanaugh said Clancy told her.<\/p>\n

“The voice conversation came up several times during several of our visits,” the chaplain recounted.<\/p>\n

On cross-examination, Jennifer Sprague pressed Cavanaugh on why she never put in her notes that Clancy mentioned voices.<\/p>\n

Cavanaugh said the notes weren’t taken down word for word.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

Sheila Cavanaugh \u2014 a chaplain who visited Clancy several times at Brigham and Women’s Hospital \u2014 went to Clancy’s hospital room on Jan. 25, 2023, and the next day too, but she couldn’t speak because she was intubated.<\/p>\n

Cavanaugh saw her again on Jan. 31 after Clancy’s intubation tube had been taken out \u2014 and exactly one week after she killed Cora, Dawson and Callan.<\/p>\n

Mysterious juror drama hasn’t happened before in 16 days of trial<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The individual interviews with the justice were all very short and quiet, so it’s unclear exactly what was said.<\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Lindsay Clancy appeared a bit alarmed as she turned toward her defense attorney Kevin Reddington.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
