The trial of Lindsay Clancy, a Duxbury, Massachusetts mother charged with the murder of her three children, commenced on July 27 at the Plymouth Superior Court.

But they disagreed about whether she should be held criminally responsible for the killings.

Lindsay realised that she had troubles and sought medical treatment, according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit detailed that she also told her medical providers about her worsening symptoms, informing them that her medicines were making her worse. Patrick Clancy’s lawsuit, meanwhile, detailed the voices Lindsay said she heard, citing her medical records. Another voice told her “that her children would suffer if she was gone,” Patrick’s lawsuit noted.
