Lindsay Clancy's ex-mother-in-law testifies to her distress before children's deaths

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

During the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, her former mother-in-law, Susan Clancy, testified that Lindsay was expressing significant distress and fear of medication dependence in the months leading up to the deaths of her three children. Susan Clancy stated that Lindsay was "begging for help" and openly shared her struggles with benzodiazepine use and sleep difficulties. The defense is arguing that Lindsay Clancy should not be held criminally responsible due to postpartum psychosis, a condition her legal team claims was exacerbated by her mental health struggles and prescribed medications.
