Lindsay Clancy, 36, faces three counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of her children—Cora, Dawson, and Callan—who were found strangled in their home in January 2023. During the trial, which has garnered significant public attention, some voices, including conservative columnist Bethany Mandel, have expressed concern that the focus has shifted away from the victims to Clancy herself. Mandel noted that while many support Clancy, few acknowledge the names of her children. The prosecution has concluded its case, and the defense is arguing that Clancy was experiencing postpartum psychosis at the time of the incident. Jonathan Hatami, a deputy district attorney, emphasized that discussions should center on the victims rather than the defendant. Expert witnesses have testified regarding Clancy's mental state, with differing opinions on her criminal responsibility. Closing arguments in the trial are expected to begin soon.
