Lindsay Clancy Trial: A "Normal Day" Testimony Collides With a Damning Old Facebook Post

Two witnesses, two completely different pictures of Lindsay Clancy — that's what jurors got in Plymouth Superior Court this week in the trial of the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children, 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan, with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy is facing three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, with defense attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was gripped by severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication when it happened.

Kyle Carney, a friend of Patrick Clancy's, opened the day describing January 24 as ordinary — a good day, nothing that hinted at what was coming. Then Massachusetts State Police Trooper Andrew Chiachio took over, and the testimony got a lot more procedural and a lot more pointed. He walked the jury through pulling surveillance video from a CVS and Three V Restaurant near the scene, then described a search warrant executed six months after the killings to collect possible DNA evidence from outside the house. A second warrant went after Facebook, where investigators found a May 2021 post from a parenting support group in which Clancy wrote that every day with Dawson felt like a fight. Reddington, on cross, got Chiachio to concede that despite the digging, investigators never found any evidence Clancy had actually abused her son. Jurors were dismissed once both witnesses finished.

Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy knew exactly what she was doing that day, mental-health defense or not. She allegedly attempted suicide afterward by jumping from a second-story window and remains paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick, was running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues for several more weeks.
