In episode three of our mini-series tracking the trial of Lindsay Clancy, we unpack the prosecution's opening statements and core arguments. Through 14 days of testimony and over 70 witnesses, prosecutors detailed Lindsay’s digital footprint, hospital records, and phone notes expressing maternal burnout. We examine key testimony from her ex-husband, Patrick Clancy, who recently filed a wrongful death lawsuit against her medical providers, as the court analyses Apple Watch health data, step counts, and the precise timeline of the evening Cora, Dawson, and Callan were killed.

[0:05] Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Gemma Bath, host of True Crime Conversations, and
[0:08] Speaker 1: welcome back to our mini-series unpacking the trial of Lindsay
[0:11] Speaker 1: Clancy in Massachusetts, the case the entire world can't take
[0:16] Speaker 1: their eyes off. We're going to be updating you multiple
[0:19] Speaker 1: times a week in this feed as the court proceedings
[0:21] Speaker 1: continue to unfold. Just a warning, this episode contains descriptions
[0:26] Speaker 1: of violence against children and suicide. In our last episode,
[0:30] Speaker 1: we took you through Lindsay and Patrick's lives in the aftermath,
[0:34] Speaker 1: right up until.
[0:35] Speaker 2: The trial started.
[0:36] Speaker 1: In episode three, we're going to outline the prosecution's case.
[0:41] Speaker 1: It's day one of the trial. Unshackled and without handcuffs on,
[0:45] Speaker 1: Lindsay Clancy is pushed out into the courtroom in her wheelchair.
[0:49] Speaker 1: In opening statements, Plymouth County Assistant District Attorney Shanann Buckingham
[0:55] Speaker 1: told the jury Lindsay deliberately and meticulously killed her children.
[1:00] Speaker 1: As she described Cora, Dawson and Callan to the court,
[1:04] Speaker 1: Lindsay could be seen distressed, weeping, head down. The prosecutor
[1:09] Speaker 1: went on to acknowledge that Lindsay had health issues, but
[1:13] Speaker 1: declared that she wasn't in the throes of psychosis when
[1:15] Speaker 1: she strangled her children in the basement in January 2023.
[1:19] Speaker 3: This was a woman who acted intentionally, rationally, and swiftly
[1:25] Speaker 3: to accomplish a very specific goal, to kill. You'll see
[1:30] Speaker 3: and hear evidence about all the things that she did
[1:32] Speaker 3: that day, what she did in the days leading up
[1:35] Speaker 3: to this incident, leading to the murders. You'll hear her
[1:39] Speaker 3: spending time with her family and friends. You'll hear her
[1:43] Speaker 3: appearing to be in good spirits and doing better for
[1:45] Speaker 3: all intents and purposes. On that very day, you'll hear
[1:49] Speaker 3: she interacted with people at the doctor's office, She came
[1:53] Speaker 3: home and took care of the kids. She talked to
[1:56] Speaker 3: people on the phone and via text message. The evidence
[2:00] Speaker 3: will show you she was not psychotic that day.
[2:02] Speaker 1: Lindsay's defence counsel, Kevin Reddington, painted a very different picture
[2:07] Speaker 1: of a woman suffering from psychosis, of a woman suffering
[2:11] Speaker 1: from postpartum depression who had been prescribed a cocktail of
[2:14] Speaker 1: medications in the lead up to the killings, of a
[2:17] Speaker 1: woman who had told multiple people she was having suicidal
[2:20] Speaker 1: ideations and and was worried about hurting the children, who
[2:24] Speaker 1: had continually tried to seek help from experts.
[2:28] Speaker 4: This is not a righteous prosecution. They're looking for every
[2:31] Speaker 4: single piece of evidence that they can to show some
[2:34] Speaker 4: ridiculous concept that she wanted to kill her beautiful kids
[2:38] Speaker 4: because she didn't want to be a mother anymore. This
[2:41] Speaker 4: is a woman that was a nurse. She worked for
[2:43] Speaker 4: one of the best hospitals in the country. She was
[2:45] Speaker 4: in a labor delivery. You're going to hear from labor
[2:47] Speaker 4: and delivery nurses that will tell you how dedicated she was.
[2:50] Speaker 2: This is a woman.
[2:53] Speaker 4: That did not get the medication, did not get the
[2:58] Speaker 4: medical treatment that she so deserved. This is a woman
[3:02] Speaker 4: that was suffering from psychosis at the time that she
[3:09] Speaker 4: went down to that basement. She had no motive. She
[3:14] Speaker 4: loved her children. She intended to kill herself. She didn't
[3:19] Speaker 4: fake that. Threw herself out the window. Most of the hospital,
[3:24] Speaker 4: you're going to see that when she's in the hospital,
[3:25] Speaker 4: they said to her, do you want to, what do
[3:28] Speaker 4: they call it, a DNR? Do not resuscitate her? Absolutely.
[3:32] Speaker 4: Did not want any DNR. Didn't want to be resuscitated.
[3:35] Speaker 4: Wanted a day. To this day, wants a day.
[3:39] Speaker 1: The prosecution's case included 14 days of testimony over roughly
[3:43] Speaker 1: three weeks, with more than 70 witnesses called. Up first
[3:49] Speaker 1: was Lindsay's husband, and it's important to note at this
[3:52] Speaker 1: point But Patrick has openly shared his forgiveness for his ex-wife.
[3:57] Speaker 1: In a GoFundMe posted four days after the killings, he
[4:01] Speaker 1: asked others to forgive her, as I have. Our marriage
[4:05] Speaker 1: was wonderful and diametrically grew stronger as her condition rapidly worsened,
[4:10] Speaker 1: he wrote. The real Lindsay was generously loving and caring
[4:14] Speaker 1: towards everyone. All I wish for her now is that
[4:18] Speaker 1: she can somehow find some peace. In January 2026, He
[4:23] Speaker 1: actually filed a civil lawsuit claiming wrongful death and medical
[4:27] Speaker 1: malpractice on behalf of him and the children. In it,
[4:32] Speaker 1: he alleges that Lindsay's providers mismanaged her medications and failed
[4:37] Speaker 1: to recognise her deteriorating mental health, leading to suicidal thoughts
[4:42] Speaker 1: and eventually the deaths of their children. Lindsay has filed
[4:46] Speaker 1: a separate claim alleging negligence, medical malpractice and personal injury.
[4:52] Speaker 1: Back to the court. While on the stand, Patrick talked
[4:55] Speaker 1: about Lindsay's struggles with anxiety after the birth of each
[4:59] Speaker 1: child and as she prepared to return to work and
[5:02] Speaker 1: how everything intensified after the birth of Callan.
[5:06] Speaker 5: When had she been scheduled to go back to work?
[5:10] Speaker 2: I don't remember the exact date, but I think it
[5:11] Speaker 2: was October.
[5:13] Speaker 5: So again, it was that pattern of as it became
[5:15] Speaker 5: closer in time to go back to work, she started
[5:18] Speaker 5: to struggle?
[5:18] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[5:19] Speaker 5: During the times when... she would get anxious when it
[5:23] Speaker 5: was time to go back to work and she would
[5:26] Speaker 5: start being anxious. Did you ever have any difficulty understanding
[5:29] Speaker 5: her when she spoke?
[5:30] Speaker 3: No.
[5:31] Speaker 2: Did she ever.
[5:32] Speaker 5: Exhibit any behaviour that made you concerned enough to call
[5:36] Speaker 5: a doctor or want to commit her?
[5:39] Speaker 1: Between the September of 2022 and January 2023, she was
[5:45] Speaker 1: prescribed 13 medications by at least three different providers. But
[5:50] Speaker 1: this gives you an idea of the kinds of details
[5:52] Speaker 1: the prosecutor was keen for Patrick to highlight.
[5:55] Speaker 5: Were you aware that out of the Zoloft prescription she
[5:59] Speaker 5: was given, she only took seven pills?
[6:02] Speaker 2: No.
[6:09] Speaker 5: After you had the conversation with Lindsay where she said
[6:12] Speaker 5: she was going to double the dose of Zoloft, did
[6:15] Speaker 5: you notice any difference in her demeanour or behaviour?
[6:20] Speaker 2: I would say yes.
[6:22] Speaker 6: I don't know if I connected it with the doubling
[6:26] Speaker 6: of her Zoloft, but over that.
[6:28] Speaker 2: Period of time, she just kept getting worse and worse.
[6:32] Speaker 5: And what period of time was that? What month are
[6:33] Speaker 5: we in?
[6:35] Speaker 6: Mid-October to the end of December.
[6:37] Speaker 3: Okay.
[6:38] Speaker 5: So she got the prescription in September, started taking it
[6:43] Speaker 5: in October, took seven pills, but was having difficulty in December.
[6:48] Speaker 2: Is that what you're saying?
[6:50] Speaker 5: From this medication?
[6:51] Speaker 2: Well, I don't know which medication it was from, but yeah. Okay.
[6:55] Speaker 1: Changes in Lindsay's sleep were also a big focus.
[6:59] Speaker 5: Did you notice any changes in her sleep during that
[7:03] Speaker 5: time when she was on the medication but you weren't
[7:05] Speaker 5: aware she was on it?
[7:08] Speaker 2: Eventually, yeah.
[7:10] Speaker 5: When was that?
[7:10] Speaker 2: I don't remember the exact dates.
[7:14] Speaker 6: But she just, you know, one night she said... Do
[7:19] Speaker 6: you mind? She started by saying, I'm not mad or anything,
[7:23] Speaker 6: but do you mind sleeping in the basement.
[7:26] Speaker 2: And letting me just sleep in our room with Callan?
[7:29] Speaker 6: And then you can take the monitors down in the basement,
[7:30] Speaker 6: and if Cora and Dawson get up, you can get
[7:34] Speaker 6: up with them. She said, I've just been having a
[7:36] Speaker 6: lot of trouble sleeping, and I'm hoping that if there's
[7:41] Speaker 6: less in and out, then there'll be less disruption.
[7:47] Speaker 5: Had you noticed prior to her telling you this that
[7:49] Speaker 5: she was up a lot or having trouble sleeping, like
[7:52] Speaker 5: physically seeing her awake?
[7:54] Speaker 2: No, not that I recall.
[7:56] Speaker 5: And did you in fact start sleeping in the basement
[7:58] Speaker 5: for a period of time?
[7:59] Speaker 6: I think I did it for like two nights and
[8:01] Speaker 6: then she actually went down in the basement.
[8:04] Speaker 5: Okay, so then you went back up to your bedroom
[8:06] Speaker 5: to sleep, is that correct?
[8:06] Speaker 6: Yeah.
[8:07] Speaker 5: And how long did Lindsay sleep in the basement for
[8:10] Speaker 5: after that?
[8:13] Speaker 2: Maybe a couple of weeks.
[8:15] Speaker 1: The prosecution's case focused heavily on highlighting how Lindsay was functioning, coherent,
[8:20] Speaker 1: and parenting effectively. She was still going out with her family,
[8:23] Speaker 1: still participating in social events, and even smiling in pictures
[8:27] Speaker 1: with loved ones.
[8:28] Speaker 5: And what types of things were you doing?
[8:33] Speaker 2: We celebrated Halloween. I don't really remember what else, but
[8:38] Speaker 2: I think we were doing things regularly.
[8:40] Speaker 5: Do you recall going to an event with food trucks.
[8:46] Speaker 3: Yeah. And do you recall.
[8:48] Speaker 7: Going to an event.
[8:51] Speaker 5: In November where there were trains to ride with the kids?
[8:56] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[8:56] Speaker 5: Did you have plans for Thanksgiving that year?
[8:59] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[8:59] Speaker 5: What were your plans?
[9:01] Speaker 6: I believe the order was we went to Wallingford where
[9:06] Speaker 6: her parents lived the week before and then the week
[9:10] Speaker 6: after we went to my sister's house.
[9:14] Speaker 5: And where did your sister live?
[9:16] Speaker 3: What town?
[9:17] Speaker 2: South Hamilton.
[9:18] Speaker 5: And that was a week after Thanksgiving?
[9:22] Speaker 2: Is that correct? I think so, yeah. Yeah, it was.
[9:27] Speaker 1: In early December 2022, Lindsay started taking a new antipsychotic medication.
[9:33] Speaker 1: It was also around this time that she started to spiral.
[9:36] Speaker 6: That was really where her big spiral started. She started
[9:40] Speaker 6: to lose a lot of weight. And she became very depressed,
[9:46] Speaker 6: and she was having a really hard time.
[9:49] Speaker 5: And did she describe to you some thoughts or feelings
[9:54] Speaker 5: that she was having at that time?
[9:58] Speaker 2: Yeah, she started to say she was suicidal.
[10:01] Speaker 5: And was that in December of 2022?
[10:02] Speaker 2: I think so, yeah.
[10:05] Speaker 5: And when she told you she was suicidal, did you
[10:09] Speaker 5: ask her if she had a plan on how to
[10:11] Speaker 5: kill herself?
[10:12] Speaker 3: Yes.
[10:13] Speaker 5: And what was her response?
[10:15] Speaker 3: She said no.
[10:18] Speaker 5: And did she ever mention a specific way or plan
[10:22] Speaker 5: she had to kill herself to you?
[10:23] Speaker 3: No.
[10:26] Speaker 5: And at some point in time, did she tell you
[10:32] Speaker 5: that this was the first time she had had suicidal thoughts?
[10:39] Speaker 6: I don't know if she mentioned it was the first
[10:40] Speaker 6: time or not. I just remember her saying she had them.
[10:44] Speaker 5: Had you ever heard her say that to you before,
[10:46] Speaker 5: that she was having suicidal thoughts?
[10:48] Speaker 2: No.
[10:52] Speaker 5: Did you own at that time a Surface Pro, a
[10:55] Speaker 5: type of tablet that works as a laptop?
[10:57] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[10:58] Speaker 5: And who had access to that laptop?
[11:02] Speaker 8: We both did.
[11:03] Speaker 5: You and Lindsay?
[11:04] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[11:05] Speaker 5: And going back to August 22nd, 2022, did you click
[11:09] Speaker 5: on a link on that Surface Pro that was titled
[11:13] Speaker 5: Methods of Suicide?
[11:15] Speaker 2: Not that I recall.
[11:16] Speaker 5: And August 22nd, 2022. That was before Lindsay had been
[11:21] Speaker 5: on any medications as far as you know, correct? Going
[11:24] Speaker 5: back to December, she's told you that she's having these thoughts.
[11:31] Speaker 5: What's your reaction when she tells you that she's having
[11:34] Speaker 5: these suicidal thoughts?
[11:37] Speaker 2: I just wanted to support her.
[11:39] Speaker 6: I asked those questions back to her and.
[11:44] Speaker 2: Her mother was coming up pretty regularly anyways, so.
[11:48] Speaker 6: We let them know and.
[11:51] Speaker 2: We just try to be supportive.
[11:53] Speaker 1: It was then that she told Patrick she'd been having
[11:56] Speaker 1: intrusive thoughts of hurting the kids. The prosecution noted to
[12:00] Speaker 1: the court that there was no mention of a man's
[12:02] Speaker 1: voice telling her to do this at that time. She
[12:06] Speaker 1: went to the emergency department twice in the December because
[12:09] Speaker 1: of her suicidal thoughts. The second time, she was diagnosed
[12:14] Speaker 1: with severe major depressive disorder without psychotic features and and
[12:18] Speaker 1: considered minimal risk.
[12:20] Speaker 5: Were you aware that that night while at the hospital,
[12:24] Speaker 5: Lindsay was taking selfies?
[12:31] Speaker 3: No.
[12:32] Speaker 1: After a multi-day stay at a locked ward facility in
[12:35] Speaker 1: early January, Patrick testified that Lindsay said she wasn't suicidal anymore.
[12:40] Speaker 1: The prosecution said she asked to be discharged on January
[12:43] Speaker 1: 5 so she could be home in time for Cora's birthday.
[12:47] Speaker 1: As a family, in the weeks that followed, they visited
[12:50] Speaker 1: a water park, Patrick went out to brunch with friends,
[12:53] Speaker 1: leaving Lindsay with the children, and they took a trip
[12:56] Speaker 1: to the Science Museum on January 8th. CCTV videos were
[13:00] Speaker 1: shown to the court of Lindsay inspecting exhibits and helping
[13:03] Speaker 1: her children interact with the displays.
[13:05] Speaker 6: Lindsay was always able to interact with our kids, including
[13:09] Speaker 6: at the Museum of Science.
[13:11] Speaker 5: And then after your trip to the Museum of Science,
[13:15] Speaker 5: do you remember going to the Charlie Horse restaurant with
[13:18] Speaker 5: the kids and Lindsay?
[13:20] Speaker 2: Yes.
[13:21] Speaker 5: And how soon after the Museum of Science was that?
[13:25] Speaker 5: Do you recall?
[13:26] Speaker 2: I don't recall the exact dates.
[13:28] Speaker 3: Okay.
[13:29] Speaker 5: And what type of place is the Charlie Horse restaurant?
[13:31] Speaker 2: It's like a family restaurant with games.
[13:35] Speaker 5: And how was the defendant's demeanor at the restaurant?
[13:41] Speaker 2: It was good. I was hopeful.
[13:43] Speaker 5: Why were you hopeful?
[13:44] Speaker 2: Because she seemed much better.
[13:46] Speaker 1: Sixteen days later, the children were dead. One by one,
[13:51] Speaker 1: the doctors and clinicians who saw Lindsay in those months
[13:54] Speaker 1: before were asked about whether they saw signs of psychosis.
[13:59] Speaker 1: One said no, but in cross-examination, it was discovered she
[14:02] Speaker 1: had never treated a patient with it before. The three
[14:05] Speaker 1: who took the stand all said they considered and monitored
[14:09] Speaker 1: Lindsay for bipolar disorder, not psychosis. The defense pointed out
[14:14] Speaker 1: the condition is notoriously under-recognized and not standardized in diagnosis.
[14:20] Speaker 1: Among the other witnesses to share testimony, state trooper Jonathan
[14:23] Speaker 1: O'Loughlin said both the knife and exercise bands were fingerprinted,
[14:28] Speaker 1: but there are things that can affect their reliability.
[14:31] Speaker 3: Can you tell us what your findings were when it
[14:33] Speaker 3: came to the knife?
[14:35] Speaker 9: Yes, there was not enough characteristics or minutiae to do
[14:39] Speaker 9: any comparison, so it was deemed no value.
[14:43] Speaker 3: And as far as the exercise bands, I'm afraid to
[14:46] Speaker 3: say you also did the same and examined those to
[14:49] Speaker 3: try to identify if they had any friction-rich detail or
[14:53] Speaker 3: anything of value that you could conduct a comparison on, right?
[14:56] Speaker 6: Yes.
[14:56] Speaker 3: And was there any on either the yellow band, the
[15:01] Speaker 3: black band, or the blue band?
[15:03] Speaker 2: No, there was not enough to do no value.
[15:05] Speaker 1: Emergency doctor, Dr Kelly McDonough, testified Lindsay had hypothermia when
[15:10] Speaker 1: she arrived at the hospital along with her other injuries.
[15:13] Speaker 3: And can you explain to us what could cause a
[15:16] Speaker 3: person's body temperature to drop to, I think it was 82.1?
[15:22] Speaker 3: There are many reasons, but it could be a metabolic
[15:25] Speaker 3: disarray or exposure. In this circumstance, did you know what
[15:31] Speaker 3: the source of the drop in the body temperature was
[15:33] Speaker 3: for Ms Clancy? No.
[15:35] Speaker 1: The prosecution had the same doctor agree that the injuries
[15:38] Speaker 1: Lindsay had on her wrists were not acute when she
[15:41] Speaker 1: arrived in her trauma room, and that they hadn't injured
[15:44] Speaker 1: an artery or a vein. Lindsay's internet searches and diary-style
[15:49] Speaker 1: entries from her phone's notes app were also revealed in court,
[15:52] Speaker 1: read out by Detective Timothy Chippiny.
[15:55] Speaker 9: I'm sad and depressed because I am not able to
[15:57] Speaker 9: parent my third child like my first. I want to
[16:00] Speaker 9: treat any one of my babies like my first, but
[16:03] Speaker 9: I know that's not a feasible possibility. I'm sad that
[16:06] Speaker 9: I stopped breastfeeding. I feel not as connected with Cal now.
[16:10] Speaker 9: I think I sort of resent my other children because
[16:12] Speaker 9: they prevent me from treating Cal like.
[16:14] Speaker 2: My first baby.
[16:15] Speaker 9: And I know that's not fair to them.
[16:17] Speaker 10: I know that.
[16:19] Speaker 9: I was feeling so depressed last evening when Cora and
[16:21] Speaker 9: Dawson came home from school. I know it runs off
[16:24] Speaker 9: on them, so we had a pretty rough evening. I
[16:27] Speaker 9: want to feel love and connection with all my kids.
[16:30] Speaker 9: I'm also probably having a bit of an internal conflict
[16:32] Speaker 9: because my whole life I've wanted to have a lot
[16:34] Speaker 9: of kids. I still don't want Cal to be our last,
[16:37] Speaker 9: but I have a lot of figuring out to do
[16:38] Speaker 9: before I have another. I'm on the fence about starting
[16:41] Speaker 9: a new medication for anxiety slash depression. I just want
[16:45] Speaker 9: to feel happy. I want to be able to relax
[16:47] Speaker 9: and take care of my kids.
[16:49] Speaker 1: Digital forensics expert Ian Whiffen spoke to the data extracted
[16:53] Speaker 1: on her Apple phone and watch. He spoke about when
[16:56] Speaker 1: exactly Lindsay moved around the house around the time the
[16:59] Speaker 1: children were killed.
[16:59] Speaker 10: What we have here at 5.33 p.m., You had the
[17:03] Speaker 10: flight climb started, is that correct?
[17:05] Speaker 3: Correct.
[17:06] Speaker 10: And flight climb ended at 5.38, so that.
[17:09] Speaker 5: Line again connecting them?
[17:11] Speaker 2: Correct.
[17:11] Speaker 8: So two flight climbs occurred during.
[17:13] Speaker 2: That time period.
[17:14] Speaker 10: And in between when the flight climb started and the
[17:17] Speaker 10: flight climb ended, you had the two.
[17:21] Speaker 7: Calls, the incoming call that was missed from Patrick.
[17:23] Speaker 10: And then the outgoing call to Patrick, correct?
[17:25] Speaker 2: Correct.
[17:26] Speaker 7: So the first flight climbed had already been started, Someone
[17:31] Speaker 7: had already started climbing up a flight of stairs when
[17:35] Speaker 7: that first unanswered call happened, correct?
[17:38] Speaker 8: So flight climb started is how it's listed within the
[17:43] Speaker 8: database and within the software. But actually, the flight climb
[17:48] Speaker 8: time is when the flight climb has been recognized by
[17:51] Speaker 8: the device as the device has already climbed up those stairs.
[17:55] Speaker 8: So even though it says flight climb started, that's technically
[17:59] Speaker 8: the time that the flight climb or the first flight
[18:02] Speaker 8: climb had ended.
[18:03] Speaker 10: So it works as 533, I'm sorry, 533, 34 flight
[18:08] Speaker 10: climb started.
[18:11] Speaker 7: That actually indicates the person has gone up that first
[18:13] Speaker 7: flight of stairs already.
[18:14] Speaker 8: Yes, that indicates the phone has now realized I'm three
[18:18] Speaker 8: meters higher than I was the last time I checked. Therefore,
[18:22] Speaker 8: a flight climb has already been completed at that point.
[18:25] Speaker 7: And then the calls happen, and then the phone realizes
[18:28] Speaker 7: at 5.38 that another flight has been climbed.
[18:31] Speaker 8: Correct.
[18:32] Speaker 1: And what her heart rate was doing.
[18:34] Speaker 7: And what was the last time a heart rate was
[18:37] Speaker 7: reported from the watch to the defendant's phone?
[18:41] Speaker 8: So the last heart rate recorded was at 17, 23, 52.
[18:45] Speaker 8: So 23 minutes past five in the afternoon with a
[18:49] Speaker 8: heart rate of 57 beats per minute.
[18:51] Speaker 7: What was the average.
[18:52] Speaker 3: Heart rate for the day.
[18:53] Speaker 10: For the defendant's phone?
[18:57] Speaker 8: There was a range of heart rates going between as
[19:01] Speaker 8: low as, I believe, around 50 and as high as
[19:05] Speaker 8: around 122. On average, it was around high 80s, early 90s.
[19:11] Speaker 7: And so at 5.23pm, the last recording of her heart
[19:16] Speaker 7: rate was 57?
[19:17] Speaker 8: Correct.
[19:18] Speaker 1: The prosecution allege Lindsay asked Patrick to run errands to
[19:22] Speaker 1: create an opportunity to be alone with the children. They
[19:25] Speaker 1: allege she researched how long the trip would take to
[19:28] Speaker 1: know how much time she had. They claim she was
[19:31] Speaker 1: functioning and parenting coherently and without issue up until the
[19:36] Speaker 1: hours before the children's deaths. We're going to tell you
[19:39] Speaker 1: more about the defense's stance in a future episode. They're
[19:42] Speaker 1: currently still calling witnesses to testify. But interestingly, the defense
[19:47] Speaker 1: did have this to say about the way the prosecution
[19:49] Speaker 1: has been carrying out this trial.
[19:52] Speaker 4: This is a murder trial, very serious business. I have
[19:55] Speaker 4: worked really hard to pull this case together with expert witnesses,
[20:00] Speaker 4: civilian witnesses, private investigators been investigating. I provide everything to
[20:05] Speaker 4: them as soon as I get it. And they have
[20:08] Speaker 4: been doing the same with me. I haven't objected to
[20:12] Speaker 4: one thing.
[20:13] Speaker 1: You'll hear more from the defence in the next episode
[20:16] Speaker 1: of this miniseries unpacking the Lindsay Clancy trial. Thank you
[20:20] Speaker 1: for listening to True Crime Conversations. We'll be back soon.
