The FederalistThis article discusses gruesome facts about a triple murder. The attorney for “Massachusetts mom” Lindsay Clancy admits she strangled her three young children to death with exercise bands, according to CBS News. Yet he argues she shouldn’t be held responsible for this demonically evil choice because “she was overmedicated for mental health issues and was suffering from extreme postpartum psychosis.”
USA TodayLindsay Clancy's defense continued to lay out its case on day 16 of testimony in the trial of the Massachusetts mother accused of murdering her three children.
The Daily WireBetween this and the Karmelo Anthony fundraiser, we are getting a glimpse into a kind of cultural rot that cannot be easily waved away. Lindsay Clancy had every form of help imaginable — family support, financial support, and medical support (to the point that she was doctor-shopping and hoarding pills, and disregarding her doctors’ advice to taper the medication). And still, she chose to murder her children. She chose to commit an unfathomably barbaric act, which — assuming she has an ounce of humanity or sanity left — will make every moment of her life a living hell from now until the day she dies.

Ms. Clancy’s trial has become a media sensation, with prosecutors trying to convict her for killing her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Callan — after sending her husband out on an errand run in January 2023.

USA TodayClancy, 36, is on trial for murder in the January 2023 strangulation deaths of her three children – Cora, 5; Dawson, 3; and Callan, 8 months – at the family's Duxbury, Massachusetts, home. She has pleaded not guilty to all three counts.
The FederalistThe children were 5, 3, and 8 months old at the time of their painful deaths. A rash of social media postings indicates Clancy is not the only dangerous psychopath roaming about. Numerous women have taken to their accounts to claim Clancy should not be held responsible and to accuse her husband of the murders. Clancy’s sympathizers have raised nearly $1 million as of this writing to defend a woman whose attorney admits she is a child murderer.

USA TodayClancy's defense argues that she is not guilty because she lacks criminal responsibility, which is more commonly known as an insanity defense. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington says Clancy she was suffering from postpartum depression and psychosis at the time of the killings.
Washington TimesMs. Clancy’s defense team argues her severe postpartum depression, which was documented by nearly 20 trips to various doctors in the months before the killings, means she cannot be criminally liable for the slayings.
The Daily WireThey know she murdered her children, they know she chose to do it, and they support her in spite of that — or, more grimly, they support her because of it. These women have entered a state of communal psychosis, all to defend Clancy for committing the most heinous act imaginable — strangling her own children to death. Their plan (as was the case in Virginia) is to use the absurdity of the “insanity defense” to absolve her of responsibility for these brutal murders.

Not too long ago, for example, it would’ve been unthinkable for millions of women to spend their free time rallying to the defense of a psychotic mother like Lindsay Clancy, who allegedly murdered her own children, one by one, after sending her husband away on an errand. It would’ve been unthinkable for women to send nearly a million dollars to the mother’s family via a GoFundMe, as a reward for the horrific crime she had committed.

Washington TimesA GoFundMe set up for the parents of Massachusetts mother-turned-killer Lindsay Clancy has raised nearly $1 million as organizers say the couple has spent their life savings to help her on trial.

The GoFundMe page reads: The Musgrove Family Fund is for the two people who have remained at her side through every step of what followed: her parents, Mike and Paula Musgrove. For more than three years, Mike and Paula have shown up for Lindsay. … The case will eventually reach its conclusion. Whatever that outcome is, Mike and Paula will still have to pick up the pieces of the lives they have put on hold to be there for their daughter. They should not have to face that future without the financial foundation they spent decades building.

Washington Times“Nothing about this fund asks anyone to share their view of Lindsay or the criminal case. It asks donors to recognize the extraordinary financial burden her parents have carried simply by continuing to be present,” organizers wrote. “The purpose of this fund is to help Mike and Paula rebuild the financial stability they have sacrificed over these past three years.”
