Lindsay Clancy Was 'So Glad' Her Kids Were 'Safe' After Murder, Told Chaplain She Heard A Male Voice

The chaplain said the reported voice surfaced a week after the killings, while prosecutors argue the claim came later and undercuts the defense case.

  • On Thursday, August 20, hospital chaplain Sheila Cavanaugh testified that Lindsay Clancy reported hearing a persistent "male voice" commanding her to kill her three children on January 31, 2023.
  • Defense attorney Kevin Reddington argues Clancy suffered from postpartum psychosis and is not criminally responsible for the deaths; Cavanaugh met with her more than 200 times across multiple hospitals.
  • During cross-examination, Plymouth Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Sprague challenged Cavanaugh's meticulous visit notes, which never documented any mention of Clancy hearing a voice.
  • Judge William Sullivan excused jurors Thursday after hearing arguments on jury instructions, which may include definitions for involuntary manslaughter under Massachusetts law.
  • Protesters wearing pink gathered outside the courthouse Thursday in support of Clancy as the trial continues Friday morning with closing arguments potentially scheduled for Monday or Tuesday.
