BOSTON, Mass. — The defense team for Lindsay Clancy is expected to continue presenting witnesses Tuesday as the high-profile murder trial enters its 15th day of testimony in Plymouth Superior Court.
Clancy, a former Duxbury mother charged in the 2023 deaths of her three young children, is pursuing an insanity defense. Her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is working to show jurors how her mental health deteriorated in the months leading up to the killings, with a particular focus on the medications she was prescribed and their reported effects.

What happened Monday
After prosecutors rested their case Monday, the defense began calling family members to the stand. Jurors first heard testimony from Clancy’s mother, Paula Musgrove, who described significant changes in her daughter’s behavior following the birth of her third child in 2022.
Musgrove testified that Clancy initially appeared happy after giving birth but later became increasingly anxious about returning to work at Massachusetts General Hospital. According to her testimony, Clancy reached out for help in late October 2022, telling her mother she was “really sick” and that something was wrong.
