What Lindsay Clancy Told the Hospital Chaplain (Trial Day 17)

Only one witness took the stand on Day 17 of the Lindsay Clancy murder trial — but what she told the jury is critically important to Lindsay's defense. Hospital chaplain Sheila Cavanaugh began visiting Lindsay just days after the deaths of her children, and today she revealed what Lindsay told her during those visits. The testimony offered a remarkable glimpse into Lindsay’s state of mind — and led to a hard-fought cross-examination by the prosecution.

Lindsay Clancy is charged with murdering her three young children, Cora, Dawson and Callan, in their Duxbury, Massachusetts home in January 2023. Her defense argues that she was suffering from severe mental illness and was not criminally responsible for her actions. Prosecutors contend that Lindsay knew what she was doing and should be found guilty of murder.
