Lindsay Clancy murder trial set to hear from psychiatrists who prescribed nurse mom meds before her post-partum killings of her three young children: Live updates

Under cross-examination, she confirmed that -besides the January 2023 event – she had only seen Clancy once since fall 2022 when she saw her at a school drop-off one time.

She also confirmed that while they were social, they were not close.

But she noticed that Clancy did look thinner in January 2023, she said.

On January 22, 2023 – two days before the killings – Patrick, Lindsay, Cora and Dawson came to the Carney home for a bonfire.

Callan was at home with Clancy’s parents.

Clancy seemed ‘fairly normal’ but ‘quiet’ that day.

When she asked Clancy how she was, she said she said fine and that was the end of the conversation. Clancy never mentioned anything about postpartum depression to her.

After the births of each of Clancy’s children, there was no noticeable change in her demeanor.

She recalled Clancy seemed to exercise often and had posted a video on Facebook of her working out in the kitchen.

In the video, the children were playing with exercise bands in the background.

It is unclear if these were the bands later used to strangle them.

Clancy is watching Carney attentively from the defense table.

The second witness is Sarah Carney, a friend of Patrrick and Lindsay Clancy.

She went to school with Patrick and then met Clancy in adulthood, around 13 years ago.

Her husband Kyle Carney testified on Thursday about seeing the Clancy family two days before the killings. Their two families were close.

Under cross-examination, she confirmed that Clancy appeared to be good with her children.

She was ‘never angry’ and the kids were ‘always excited to see her.’

She asked why Callan wouldn’t also be left at the playroom and was told that there were concerns about the baby getting colds from other children.

Usually when Clancy dropped the children off, it was in the morning.

She last saw Cora and Dawson on January 17, 2023 when Clancy dropped them off that morning.

That last day, Cora drew a picture and left it at the playroom.

The mom-of-three and children were their usual selves, she said.

The first witness today is Kimberlee Hardy.

In January 2023, she worked at the Kingsbury Club – a members-only tennis and health club – in Brockton, Massachusetts.

She worked in the kids’ playroom there where parents could drop off their children for two hours while they work out.

Cora and Dawson would often come to the playroom there.

She mainly encountered Patrick dropping off and picking up the children but sometimes saw Clancy. When asked how Clancy’s demeanor was, she said she was ‘shy.’

Day nine of Lindsay Clancy’s trial is getting underway in Plymouth County Superior Court, Massachusetts.

Clancy is sitting in her wheelchair at the defense table dressed in a mint green blouse.

As normal, two nurses are sitting behind her in the public gallery to attend to her needs.

Her parents Mike and Paula Musgrove are here to support their daughter.

There are around 15 members of the public here to watch proceedings and around 15 members of the media.

Under cross-examination in court on Thursday, Clancy’s friend described her as a loving mother.

‘She loved her kids. She was warm, kind, consistent, loving,’ she said.

She also testified that Clancy had expressed having difficulties, especially with sleeping, to her.

But Clancy was not a complainer, she agreed.

Tears streamed down Clancy’s face as she listened to Decollibus say she was concerned about her.

‘My mind never shuts off… I don’t know what’s wrong with me.’

‘I want to be well… I feel like I’m drowning.’

Lindsay Clancy’s tortured diary entries were revealed in court this week, showing her apparent deterioration in the months leading up to the tragic evening of January 24, 2023, when she strangled her three young children and tried to take her own life.
