@meghannmcuniff: Lindsay Clancy's lawyer Kevin Reddington told the jury today the case against her is about women’s health issues. The prosecutor said in her opening staetment that the case is not a referendum on “women having babies and having postpartum psychosis, postpartum depression, but it sure as hell is," said Reddington, a Brockton-based attorney who has been licensed to practice law in Massachusetts bar since 1975. Reddington referenced Plymouth County District Attorney Tim Cruz in the front row of the courtroom and said he "knew when he brought this charge that it was going to kill the soul of this young woman." "And they would bring their evidence in front of a jury that she knows that she killed these children. We'll sit here, listen to their evidence, but I suggest to you that the issue for consideration is what was going on in that woman's mind," Reddington said. Clancy is charged with three counts of murder for the strangulation deaths of her three young children — five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson and eight-month-old Callan — in their home in Duxbury on Jan. 24, 2023. Clancy's trial deals with serious mental health issues. If you or someone you know needs help, you can call or text 988 to speak to a trained crisis counselor.

Tell him just like it is Kevin!!!

MoonlitMystica :

her ex testifying that she DID tell him she had thoughts of harming the children. don't think that helped the state at all

Belloello :

I feel like I am watching her endure cruel and unusual punishment just having to sit and listen to this.

Pearlsnaps :

She knew right from wrong. Pre meditated. Planned and executed

Geo :

This is a disgrace of a trial!! How dare this state add to this tragedy. Prosecute the drug dealing doctors

Mikaila Mary 🫶🏼 :

Oh no, she needs a new lawyer…if she keeps this guy she’ll be getting the ☠️penalty.

tarachristie :

Good lord, our system is so broken. She cried for help, and no one listened.

Kel eh 🇨🇦 :

Those poor kids, I can’t imagine the terror they experienced as their mother strangled the life out of them :(

AnnaAndreou🦋 :

Yes she clearly loved them dearly…

Ashley Craig :

He's unprofessional

alisonblakley :

Still waiting to watch this whole trial but the absolute hell and agony that this woman is being put through… as a mother, I can’t imagine.

janicethiel2 :

Postpartum depression is a horrible thing to go through. My heart breaks for her and her family.

SageG1rl :

Honestly as Gen x born in 1970 the dream of equality for women is a mirage …my mom had Ms. Magazine. I thought we were on an upwards path. Women’s rights are eveything. What a terrible world. Imagine the medical field failing her and the state charging her. It’s disgusting. Were the doctors male. 🙄

thrdhrd :

Are drs incentivised by drug companies to prescribe in America or are they just absolutely unskilled and overwhelmed

🫶🏻stella71004🫶🏻 :

Isn’t he somehow also involved with the Karen Read case too?

SageG1rl :

This is some replublican bullshit to charge her

Mandy07 :

This opening statement sucked.

Larkos :

So why didn’t she postpartum herself too?… yeah straight to jail…

CICI :

His delivery didn’t do what he wanted it to do in my opinion. She isn’t up for a victim in this case. The delivery has to be different. She killed the sole of her own three children.

Michelle Thomas :

why did she have them

brendalee3910 :

what's the lady in the background doun

G Rodg :

HAVING A MAN MANSPLAIN PPD?!?! WTF?? Right ladies????

Adeline :

She actually gives a reaction unlike so many people that sit in her position. She really gives an f. This isn’t an act. Throwing yourself off a two story balcony and slitting your wrists doesn’t give I wanna live. Patrick got there any later she would’ve been dead. And he was able to at least hold the baby while he was warm.
