Closing Arguments Begin in Lindsay Clancy Child Murder Trial

Published 27 August 2026

Closing arguments in the trial of Lindsay Clancy are set to begin on August 27, 2026, in a Plymouth County, Massachusetts, courtroom, where jurors will decide whether the former nurse is guilty of intentional murder or acted without criminal responsibility due to severe mental illness. Clancy, 36, has admitted to strangling her three young children, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and 8-month-old Callan, in the basement of their Duxbury home on January 24, 2023. She then attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window, an act that left her paralyzed and now attending court in a wheelchair.
