Nurses Testify in Lindsay Clancy Trial About Her First Days in the Hospital

The medical staff who cared for Lindsay Clancy right after the Duxbury killings had their turn on the stand this week, and their testimony pulls back the curtain on what happened in that hospital room while the rest of the world was still trying to process the news. Clancy, 34, faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation over the deaths of her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — 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 mounting an insanity defense centered on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.

Rachelle Amedee, the trauma nurse who treated Clancy in that early window, testified that once Clancy regained the ability to communicate — via whiteboard, since she couldn't yet speak — she asked for her attorney. Draw your own conclusions on the timing. Meghan Collins, who worked in the ICU, described the treatment Clancy received during her stay there, adding medical detail to the aftermath of an alleged suicide attempt that left Clancy paralyzed from the waist down after jumping from a second-story window.

Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was running errands at the time of the killings. He's since moved to Manhattan and given interviews about his wife's mental state. The trial is underway in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to stretch several weeks.
