(AP) — The two police officers focused first on Lindsay Clancy drifting in and out of consciousness in the snow after jumping from her Massachusetts home’s second-floor window. Within minutes, they were racing into the basement after her then-husband screamed that all three of their children were dead. “I can’t wake them up — I can’t get them up!” he frantically told the officers who, along with firefighters and paramedics, gave jurors firsthand accounts on Thursday of the aftermath. The murder trial has centered on Clancy’s mental state at the time. Her lawyers do not dispute that she strangled the children with exercise bands.

(AP) — First responders offered jurors a firsthand account Thursday of what they found after Lindsay Clancy killed her three children and tried to end her life, during what her lawyers argue was an episode of postpregnancy psychosis. The testimony came a day after jurors listened to the anguished 911 call made by Clancy’s then-husband. He discovered the bodies of 3-year-old Dawson, 5-year-old Cora, and 8-month-old Callan after returning from an errand to their Massachusetts home in January 2023. The murder trial has centered on Lindsay Clancy’s mental state at the time.
