A mother of six says that three young victims have been forgotten amid the crowds rallying behind the woman who killed them, and is now on trial for murder.
Lindsay Clancy, 36, has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder in connection with the deaths of her children â Cora, Dawson and Callan, all younger than 6 â who were discovered strangled at the family’s home in January 2023. The prosecution wrapped up its case Monday morning, after which her defense attorney began presenting arguments, contending that she was experiencing postpartum psychosis at the time she killed her children.

Jonathan Hatami, deputy district attorney in the complex child abuse section in the office of the Los Angeles County District Attorney also agreed that much of the conversation has been surrounding how Lindsay Clancy has conducted herself during the trial, not on her children who were killed.
“This shouldn’t be about the defendant even though it’s become that, it’s became this entire show about her, really should be about the victims and what the defendant did to those victims. And we try to do that in our trials and in our cases. And it seems like that’s gotten lost. In this specific case, and it’s really disappointing, and people don’t realize thes
