What Patrick Clancy Saw That Awful Night [fGfe4Qkh361]
When Patrick Clancy returned home from picking up dinner the night of January 24, 2023, he says it was unusually quiet in the house. He started calling out to his family, and searching for them in the house. What he discovered changed his life forever. His 5-year-old daughter, Cora, and his two sons — 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan — had been strangled. Meanwhile, his now ex-wife, Lindsay, had attempted suicide. Lindsay Clancy, who is now on trial for the children's murders, said she heard a voice that night telling her, "This is your last chance. Kill the children so you can kill yourself," according to her lawyer. Clancy's trial is centered on her mental state at the time. Her lawyers will seek to prove she had postpartum depression-related psychosis, a condition linked to stress, sleep deprivation and hormonal changes that follow childbirth. Meanwhile, prosecutors say Clancy's efforts to end her children's lives and then her own were the lucid and selfish actions of a woman who didn't want to be a mother anymore. If convicted of murder, she faces life in prison without parole. If found not guilty due to a lack of criminal responsibility, she would be committed to a state mental health facility. Patrick Clancy has said in interviews that he forgives his ex-wife, whom he viewed as ill rather than evil. The trial marks the first time he has seen her since the killings. #LindsayClancy #TrueCrime #Massachusetts #PostpartumPsychosis #TrialUpdate
