Nearly two years after three innocent kids were found dead inside their own Duxbury, Massachusetts home, a place they were supposed to be safe, their mother is finally standing trial.
Jury selection got underway this week for Lindsay Clancy, the former Massachusetts General Hospital labor and delivery nurse accused of killing her three young children —Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months in 2023.
The mom of three has pleaded not guilty. Her legal team plans to argue that a severe case of postpartum psychosis drove her actions and led to the domestic tragedy, according to the BBC. Prosecutors see it differently, insisting the killings were calculated and far from a moment of losing control.
Public fascination with the case hasn't faded in the months leading up to trial; if anything, it's grown louder. So if you're trying to follow along, here's what you need to know about tuning in.
Stream the Fox Nation Documentary for Free
For those wanting background before the verdict, Fox Nation has released a documentary titled A Mother's Mental State: Inside the Clancy Case, examining the events that led to the charges. It's available now and streamable through a free trial of DirecTV Stream, or through longer-term subscriptions to Fubo or Sling, both of which carry Fox Nation as an add-on channel.
Neither Fubo nor Sling currently offers a free option, so a DirecTV trial remains the only no-cost route to the documentary itself.
Watch the Trial Live on Court TV
The trial is being broadcast live on Court TV, with coverage running since Monday, July 20. Court TV is included in DirecTV Stream's basic package, meaning a free trial subscription covers both the documentary and the live courtroom coverage in one place. Fubo also carries Court TV for viewers who'd rather go that route.
Inside the Case Against Lindsay Clancy
Clancy is accused of using exercise bands to kill her three children in the basement of the family's Duxbury home, as per CNN. She's also said to have attempted to take her own life that same day, slicing her wrists and throat before jumping from the home's second-story window, an attempt that left her paraplegic.
ABC News reported on Monday, July 20, that her attorney, Kevin Reddington, has said he'll argue Clancy should be found not guilty by reason of insanity, describing a voice in her head he attributes to severe postpartum psychosis, one he says was worsened by how her doctors managed her care.
Clancy's husband, Patrick, is expected to testify for the defense, according to the Associated Press. It remains unclear whether Clancy herself will take the stand.
