Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her 3 children seeks insanity defense

The Massachusetts labor and delivery nurse who allegedly strangled and killed her three young children last year before attempting to take her own life, is seeking to pursue a defense of insanity, according to court documents.

Lindsay Clancy was indicted on three counts of murder and strangulation charges in September 2023, after prosecutors say she used exercise bands to strangle her 5-year-old daughter Cora, her 3-year-old son Dawson and her 8-month-old baby Callan, before attempting suicide at her Duxbury home.
