64. Crime of the Summer- the Lindsay Clancy Case

Andy and I have bombshells about the timeline in our fireside chat on patreon.com/highwaytohellpodcast (we also tease the new studio and halloween merch)

Clarify some points:

**This is by no means all of the data from the trial, only what we could fit into the evidence, we talk more about things on the fireside

**The timeline discrepancy comes from Patrick testifying he left at 5:15 but an email being sent from his account at 5:24

**Since this recording, a mistrial has been declared due to a hold out jury refusing to follow the law on reasonable doubt

On January 24, 2023, Lindsay Clancy, a labor and delivery nurse at Massachusetts General Hospital for nine years, allegedly strangled her three children in the basement of the family's home at 47 Summer Street in Duxbury, Massachusetts, while her husband was out picking up takeout and a prescription she had asked him to get. Cora was 5, Dawson was 3, Callan was 8 months old. Clancy then allegedly took pills, strangled herself with a belt, cut her wrists and neck, and went out a second-story window, severing her spinal cord. In the four months before that night, at least six providers had prescribed her thirteen different psychiatric medications across more than thirty prescriptions; she was turned away by two crisis hotlines in four days, told her psychiatrist she was having intrusive thoughts of harming her children. A status hearing on whether the Commonwealth will retry her is set for September 29.
