The Lindsay Clancy murder trialenters day 18 of testimony Friday, Aug. 21, at Plymouth Superior Court. The defense continues to argue Clancy was not criminally responsible when she strangled her three children to death in January 2023.

After testimony from Brigham and Women's Hospital chaplain Sheila Cavanaugh on Thursday, Aug. 20, Judge William Sullivan dismissed the jury and discussed jury instructions with the attorneys, a sign the trial is drawing to an end. Closing arguments could come as soon as Monday or Tuesday, Sullivan said.

Clancy is charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her children Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months. The prosecution says she acted rationally and deliberately when she killed the children, sending her husband Patrick Clancy out of the house on errands to provide the opportunity.
