Jurors in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy were given a rare, supervised visit to the Duxbury, Massachusetts, home where she allegedly strangled her three young children in January 2023. The excursion allowed the jury to see the scene of the crime, including the basement where the deaths occurred and the yard where Clancy was found after jumping from a second-story window. Prosecutors contend that Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse, acted intentionally and is criminally responsible for the deaths of her children Cora, five; Dawson, three; and Callan, eight months. Her defense team argues that she was experiencing postpartum psychosis, a severe mental illness, and was influenced by a voice telling her to kill the children and then herself. Clancy has been paralyzed from the waist down since the incident. The jury also retraced the route her ex-husband, Patrick Clancy, took when he was sent on errands, only to return and discover the tragedy. The home has since been sold and has a new owner.
