Lindsay Clancy’s ability to speak after she suffered severe injuries to her neck has become a point of discussion amid her trial .
Some have questioned if a person could talk after sustaining what has been described as a “crushed thyroid.”
How events unfolded
The proceedings are taking place in a Plymouth, Massachusetts, courtroom. Lindsay is reportedly paralyzed from waist down. The Massachusetts mother is facing three counts of murder in the killings of her children Cora, 5; Dawson, 3; and Callan, 8 months. She was left permanently paralyzed after attempting suicide by jumping from a second-story window on January 24, 2023, the same day she killed her children.
Background and Possible Cause
Because she was in the midst of a psychotic episode that stemmed from postpartum mental illness, her defense attorneys, on the other hand, argued that she is not criminally responsible.
Lindsay, 35, “acted intentionally, rationally and swiftly” when she fatally strangled her three children at their Duxbury home on January 24, 2023, according to prosecutors.
