Lindsay Clancy Trial: Trauma Nurse Says Her First Request Was a Lawyer

Two of the medical staff who treated Lindsay Clancy in the hours and days after the Duxbury killings took the stand this week, and between them they laid out exactly what the state of Massachusetts was dealing with in that hospital room. Clancy, 34, is charged with three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation in the deaths of her children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — who prosecutors allege she strangled with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She's pleaded not guilty and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is running an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.

Trauma nurse Rachelle Amedee testified she treated Clancy in those first critical hours, and told the courtroom that once Clancy could communicate — using a whiteboard, since she couldn't speak — one of the first things she asked for was her attorney. Make of that what you want, because the prosecution certainly will. ICU nurse Meghan Collins followed with details on the treatment Clancy received during her stay, filling in the medical picture of a woman who allegedly jumped from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down.

Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands when it happened. He's since relocated to Manhattan and spoken publicly about his wife's mental health. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several weeks.
