- Susan Clancy, the former mother-in-law of Lindsay Clancy, testified for the defence during the fourth week of Lindsay's murder trial in Plymouth Superior Court.
- Susan Clancy described Lindsay as a loving mother who was begging for help and struggling with severe mental health issues prior to the tragedy.
- Text messages shown to the jury revealed Lindsay's distress and fear over her reliance on prescribed benzodiazepines two months before the killings.
- The trial centres on Lindsay's mental state, with the defence arguing she suffered from postpartum psychosis, while prosecutors claim she planned the strangulation of her three children in January 2023.
- If convicted of murder, Lindsay faces life imprisonment without parole, but a verdict of not guilty due to a lack of criminal responsibility would see her committed to a state mental health facility.
