LINDSAY CLANCY TRIAL: POSTPARTUM IS REAL, BUT CHILD KILLING DEMANDS ACCOUNTABILITY, VETERAN PROSECUTOR SAYS Lindsay Clancy, who is on trial for killing her three children, Cora, Dawson and Callan, in a family photo entered as evidence. (Plymouth Superior Court) On the flip side, Pope said Clancy's current physical condition might complicate things for the prosecution in an unexpected way.

PROSECUTOR CORNERS LINDSAY CLANCY'S CATHOLIC MOTHER-IN-LAW WITH 'MORTAL SIN' QUESTION "What was significant to me is that she had not spoken about hearing voices before to any of the mental health professionals, psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, physicians and staff in the emergency department, or at McLean," Saathoff said.

"For the most part, the women were the ones that said, you know, when I had my kids, I went through hell, or I went through depression, or I battled this, or I was overwhelmed. Prosecutors argued she killed them in part because the man she was romantically involved with didn't want a relationship with women who had kids.

"A weird mix, too, is having her in the courtroom, whether she intentionally injured herself or, as the prosecution said, tried to slide down and just got injured. You have somebody that's now paralyzed, which obviously doesn't equate to killing three children," Pope said.

But they're the most important thing in my life," Pope said.
