From The Boston Globe.
“A hearing is scheduled in Plymouth Superior Court Friday where Lindsay Clancy is being prosecuted for murdering her three children in her Duxbury home in 2023, records show.
Clancy, 34, has pleaded not guilty to the Jan. 24, 2023, slayings of her daughter Cora, 5, and sons Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months.
In asking for Clancy to be held without bail during her October 2023 arraignment, Plymouth Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Sprague said seven medications were detected in blood samples taken from Clancy in the hours after the fatal attacks, which she allegedly perpetrated with exercise bands.
Those details appeared to be aimed at challenging defense assertions that Clancy was overmedicated at the time of the killings. She was being treated for postpartum depression.
Blood tests found three antidepressants, an antipsychotic, two sedatives, and an anticonvulsant medication, Sprague said. There were therapeutic levels of the sedatives and the anticonvulsant in Clancyās system, she said, citing the grand jury testimony of Dr. Margarita Abi Zeid Daou, a psychiatrist hired by prosecutors.
The tests detected the antidepressant trazodone at a level too low to have an effect on Clancy, Sprague said. It also turned up the presence of the antidepressant amitriptyline but couldnāt pinpoint how much Clancy had consumed, she said.
Remeron, an antidepressant, and Seroquel, an antipsychotic, were found in Clancyās system at āpeak levels,ā Sprague said, meaning they would have been ingested about two hours before her blood was drawn at 8:15 p.m.”
