Summary
Police testimony on Thursday walked jurors through data from Lindsay Clancy’s cellphone and the family laptop, adding Google searches, texts and other digital records to the prosecution’s case.
Those records included messages with her mother and searches tied to hallucinations, psychosis and ways to die, giving jurors a closer look at her state of mind before the Jan. 24, 2023 killings.
Prosecutors say Clancy, 36, strangled Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, after sending her husband out on errands, then jumped from a second-story window and was left paralyzed from the waist down.
The defense argues bipolar disorder and postpartum psychosis left her not criminally responsible, while the commonwealth is using the digital trail to argue the killings were intentional; testimony resumes Monday after no court Friday.
