Lindsay Clancy Trial Starts Monday: What Will Decide the Case?

Criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Joshua Ritter breaks down the legal battle at the center of Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial ahead of opening statements Monday.

Clancy is accused of killing her three young children, Cora, Dawson and Callan, inside the family’s Duxbury, Massachusetts, home in January 2023. Her defense does not dispute that she killed the children but argues that she was not criminally responsible because she was suffering from postpartum psychosis. Prosecutors contend her actions were planned and deliberate.

Josh explains what prosecutors must prove about Clancy’s mental state and what to watch when both sides present their opening arguments.

Then, Josh breaks down the latest testimony from singer D4vd’s continuing preliminary hearing in the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. He examines the evidence prosecutors have presented, how the defense is challenging it and whether the state has established probable cause for the case to proceed to trial.
