A recent post on X has generated significant attention among supporters of Lindsay Clancy, coinciding with a GoFundMe campaign that has raised over $1.2 million towards its $3 million goal for her parents. This fundraising effort comes in the wake of a mistrial declared by the judge in Clancy’s case, as the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict after a week of deliberations.
The Massachusetts mother faces three counts of murder in the killings of her children Cora, 5; Dawson , 3; and Callan, 8 months.
“If Lindsay Clancy had killed your children instead of her own, would you still defend her actions because of her mental illness,or would you be demanding justice?” the X post reads. “Mental illness doesn’t give you a pass,” adds the post. Another said, “My question to every supporter has been would you let her watch your children?
The X post asked Lindsay’s supporters if they would still defend her if she killed their children instead of her own. “Those children deserved to live. Their lives mattered. And their families deserve justice. Justice for Cora, Dawson, and baby Callan. Always get a nope!”
Because she was in the midst of a psychotic episode that stemmed from postpartum mental illness, her defense attorneys, on the other hand, argued that she is not criminally responsible.
Lindsay, 35, “acted intentionally, rationally and swiftly” when she fatally strangled her three children at their Duxbury home on January 24, 2023, according to prosecutors.
