Lindsay Clancy, 32, from Massachusetts is facing two counts of homicide and three counts each of strangulation and assault and battery with a deadly weapon for the death of her three young children.
The woman who is a lawyer strangled her 7-month-old son Callan, her 5-year-old daughter Cora and her 3-year-old son Dawson to death on Jan. 24 before trying to kill herself says she is now paralyzed.
Callan initially survived the strangulation but later died at the hospital, according to Mass Live.
Clancy strangled her three children with exercise bands before jumping out of a window of her family home.
Her defense attorney, Kevin J. Reddington, shared in a conversation with The Boston Globe that she is now paralyzed from the waist down and ‘will be forever,’ citing medical records and his discussion with doctors.
Clancy’s next court date has been postponed to July 25, reports WCVB, after being transferred to Tewksbury State Hospital.
Her attorney has also argued the multiple medications doctors prescribed to treat her depression and anxiety following the birth of her third child are to blame for her ‘postpartum depression, as well as the possibility of postpartum psychosis.’
EsB gathered that Clancy was reportedly on leave from her job as a labor and delivery nurse at Massachusetts General Hospital at the time of the incident.
