Watch Live: Lindsay Clancy trial jury expected to hear testimony from social worker

▪

On Wednesday, August 12, 2026, the Lindsay Clancy murder trial entered its twelfth day at Plymouth Superior Court in Massachusetts, featuring testimony from mental health counselor Latiesha Dukes. Clancy, who is thirty six years old and a former labor and delivery nurse, faces three counts of first degree murder for strangling her three children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan, at their Duxbury home on January 24, 2023, before attempting suicide. Prosecutors contend Clancy acted with premeditation and calculation, faking a suicide attempt. Conversely, defense attorney Kevin Reddington argues Clancy bears no criminal responsibility due to severe postpartum psychosis and extreme overmedication by healthcare providers. Dukes testified that during four late 2022 sessions, Clancy reported acute anxiety and suicidal thoughts but exhibited no overt signs of psychosis or mania. The high profile trial centers heavily on whether medical professionals missed critical warning signs or improperly managed her medication regimen preceding the tragedy, drawing intense national scrutiny.
