Hundreds of Lindsay Clancy supporters have gathered to silently support the Massachusetts woman on trial in the killings of her three children.

Hundreds of Lindsay Clancy supporters, many wearing pink clothing emblazoned with phrases such as “Believe,” “She Needed Help” and “Peace For Lindsay,” gathered Thursday outside the courthouse where she is on trial in the killings of her three children.

Several of the 300 women, and a few men, said Clancy’s story resonated with them and that they wanted to raise awareness about how the mental health system treats women. Clancy’s lawyer does not dispute that she killed the children, but says she should not be held criminally responsible because she was mentally ill.

    It’s almost all from the husband’s testimony and her lawyer’s questioning of him. Basically, there are a whole lot of things he said that don’t add up with established facts.

      Has a respected source like the Guardian or the Boston Globe (this case is in Massachusetts, no?) done any reporting on this given the severity of the implications? Because if he did it, then his testimony is obviously incorrect, and if he didn’t do it, then he was a first hand? witness and first hand accounts have traditionally been seen as unreliable.

        From what I have seen, main stream news has really been running with the story that she did it. There are a few that have touched on the fact that there are people who think the husband did it. But most news sources haven’t really reported on it. The claims I’ve seen that he did it are from people watching the trial themselves and coming to that conclusion based on what came up through hours and hours of questioning. I appreciate that you are asking for a source, but there’s really not a lot from reporters right now. The source is the like 5-6 hour questioning of the ex husband.

        I wouldn’t call any of it hard evidence. Moreso that this guy keeps changing his story, but he’s the star witness for the prosecution. What evidence did come up about his email, places him in the house at the time of the murders. He had previously claimed to not be home at the time and lied about his wifi being turned off. He claimed that’s why their security cameras didn’t record the incident. But the email evidence proved otherwise.
