Closing Arguments Clancy Trial/What's Your Prediction??

[daboyz]

The NBC Boston coverage shows the Lindsay Clancy trial will enter its final phase with closing arguments, today, Thursday, August 27, 2026, after which the jury will begin deliberations. No matter the circumstances, anyone who murders, especially a child, must face the full consequences of the law. Justice for the innocent should always come first.

I predict the jury will find her not criminally responsible. My reasons are:

1. Its liberal Massachusetts
2. The judges jury instructions were basically an order to find her not criminally responsible.
3. The judge has favored the defense throughout the trial allowing the defense attorney to disrespect, berate, and argue with prosecution witnesses. Whatever happened to "Objection. Argumentative."?
4. Seeing Lindsay in a wheel chair, which the defense pointed out numerous times, the jury will have sympathy and feel she paid a high enough price.
5. It's liberal Massachusetts.

It's a shame really because 3 kids died and all that seems to matter is the killer is a victim of the system.

Why should she be found guilty?

1. She strangled 3 children to death, one by one, looking them in the face as she did it. It took 2 to 5 minutes to strangle each child.
2. Her claim that she only heard the male voice when she killed her kids and hasn't heard it since defies the typical guidelines defining psychosis. It is a convenient story.
3. She planned to create the opportunity to kill her children.
4. She received text messages and a phone call from her husband during the period she was killing her kids. Her ability to deal with the messages and phone call without tipping off what she was doing or that she was in crisis indicates she had control and she knew what she was doing was both morally and legally wrong.
5. When she awoke from coma in the hospital she asked if she needed a lawyer, another indication she knew what she was doing or what she did was legally wrong.
6. 3 small children are dead. Forever. She killed them. Hearing voices did not get the Son of Sam killer off. He claimed his neighbors dog spoke to him. He was actually psychotic.
7. As a nurse, she would know how to kill herself. Her hesitation wounds on her wrists and neck indicate she was in control of her actions after she killed her kids. And why kill your kids when a voice told you to but not kill yourself with the same determination?
8. Her internet searches indicate she planned not only when to kill her kids but also how to get away with it.

She needs to go to prison, but she won't. That is my fear. Infanticide will become legal by virtue of the 18 minute insanity plea. This is not a case of Lindsay not getting the help she needed. Keep in mind she and her husband are also suing doctors and hospitals claiming her treatment was improper (another long story I would love to get into). This is a case of a narcissistic mother killing her 3 children by strangulation then considering her own life to precious to take. Prison is too good for her.

One other point I would like to make about the trial and the defense case in particular. The defense constantly used the terms "post-partum depression" and "post-partum psychosis" as if these are in themselves psychological disorders. Several defense attorneys attempted to explain why this term is confusing to them but the defense attorney never seemed to grasp it or accept it. "Post-partum", explain on witness, is an indicator or descriptor applied to the disorder. Post-partum depression is depression that occurs in the post partum period. Post-partum psychosis is just psychosis during the post-partum period. Both may be the result of chemical changes after child birth but they are not different than the same disorders that occur any other time. Depression is treated the same and so is psychosis, regardless of when it occurs.

Also, the defense kept referring to the WHO guidelines on post-partum disorders. That's because the WHO sets the post-partum period to 1 year which conveniently includes the 8 months after Lindsay gave birth to the time she killed her kids. But doctors in the US do not use WHO guidelines. The use guidelines established by US psychiatric authorities which established post-partum to be 1 month. This is why Lindsay was ultimately not diagnosed with "post-partum" anything 8 months after the birth of her 3rd child.

Once you understand all the facts you begin to see Lindsay's whole defense is contrived and based on a mish-mash of distorted facts.
