随着林赛·克兰西的三重谋杀案审判在马萨诸塞州南岸持续进行，陪审员听取了她前夫拨打的911报警电话，并了解到辩方提供的关于这位母亲严重精神健康问题的令人毛骨悚然的细节——这些问题在2023年1月24日她勒死三名子女前数月就一直存在。
检方与克兰西的律师团队给出了相互矛盾的说法：普利茅斯县检方指控这位35岁母亲实施了“有预谋的杀人行为”，而辩方则称她服药过量，并患有极端的产后精神病。
截至目前，审判的核心内容围绕帕特里克·克兰西的证词展开，他谈及了前妻过往的自杀意念，以及她 allegedly 曾有伤害子女的想法。
林赛·克兰西对三项一级谋杀罪名拒不认罪，她被控在达克斯伯里的家中杀害了5岁的科拉、3岁的道森和8个月大的卡兰。根据法庭证词，勒死子女后，她割腕割颈并从二楼卧室窗户跳下，试图自杀。
以下是这场备受关注的审判第二天后需要了解的情况：
帕特里克·克兰西的911报警电话：“她杀了孩子们”
已与林赛·克兰西离婚并再婚的帕特里克·克兰西周三作证称，在那个悲惨的夜晚，他从为孩子们买外卖和药品回家后，发现浑身是血的前妻在屋外。
在这段长达约6分钟的令人痛苦的报警电话中，可以听到帕特里克告诉调度员，他的妻子试图自杀，他正试图阻止她失去意识。
“林赛，你做了什么？”电话中可以听到帕特里克·克兰西的声音，“孩子们在哪，林赛？”
他作证称，她回答说孩子们在地下室。他告诉法庭，她没有表示孩子们有危险或受伤。
随后，电话中可以听到帕特里克·克兰西对调度员说：“我得去看看我的孩子们。” 可以听到他的脚步声，显然他正在搜查房屋，之后传来他的尖叫：“我现在马上需要人来地下室帮忙……她杀了孩子们。”
法庭上，林赛·克兰西双手捂脸，第一次听到这段录音时明显啜泣起来。帕特里克·克兰西在录音播放前已经完成作证并离开了法庭。
法官此前批准了帕特里克·克兰西的请求，将911报警电话录音保密，不向媒体公开。
哥伦比亚广播公司波士顿站的克里斯蒂娜·雷克斯在法庭内表示，听到这段录音“和你能想象到的一样令人毛骨悚然”。
检方展示儿童衣物，前夫回忆可怕细节
在播放令人不安的911报警电话前，检方向陪审员展示了三名子女生前穿的衣物，以及林赛·克兰西据称用来勒死他们的健身带。这位母亲在展示证据期间始终没有抬头。
帕特里克·克兰西作证称，他抵达地下室时，首先看到了5岁的女儿科拉。
“她脖子上缠着带子，”他在提到健身带时说，“她脸朝下趴着。”
帕特里克·克兰西说他解开了带子，但她已经没有反应。他说，随后他看到8个月大的卡兰在她旁边，脖子上也缠着健身带。这位父亲说，他接着寻找3岁的道森，在他的卧室里找到了他，脖子上同样缠着带子。
“我知道他已经没了，”帕特里克·克兰西作证道。
他说他在孩子们之间来回奔走，试图进行心肺复苏，直到急救人员赶到并接手。
帕特里克·克兰西作证称前妻“听到过男人的声音”
帕特里克·克兰西表示，他的前妻是一位疼爱孩子的母亲，但长期受失眠、焦虑和侵入性思维的困扰。他说，在悲剧发生前的几个月里，她的精神健康状况不断恶化。
“她非常有责任心，凡事亲力亲为，”帕特里克在交叉询问时作证道，补充说林赛会给孩子们读故事、编歌曲，还会带他们去上音乐课。
帕特里克·克兰西说，在孩子们去世一周后，他接到了林赛·克兰西的电话，她在电话中谈到了自己当时的经历。
“她说她听到一个男人的声音告诉她，如果现在不这么做，她就会失去机会，或者类似的话，”帕特里克作证道。
他说不记得林赛·克兰西是否告诉过他自己患有精神病。
“在这件事发生之前，我不知道什么是精神病，”他说。
辩方律师详细列举林赛·克兰西的长期用药清单
辩方律师凯文·雷丁顿周三详细列举了林赛·克兰西曾被开具的多种药物，并展示了这位母亲记录药物对其影响的日记。
12月12日的一则日记写道：“2.5毫克安定、200毫克思瑞康——睡得很好，但充满可怕的想法，毫无动力。”
帕特里克·克兰西作证称，林赛·克兰西按照医嘱服药，但当助理地区检察官詹妮弗·斯普拉格提问时，他澄清说自己相信她有遵医嘱服药，但“并没有站在她旁边看着她吃药”。
周一，帕特里克·克兰西还谈到了前妻的精神健康问题，其中包括在子女遇害前约一个月，她曾在麦克莱恩医院接受精神科治疗。
他说，尽管近期状况不佳，但林赛·克兰西在他们去世前的几个小时里，“度过了她最美好的一天之一”。
林赛·克兰西审判的后续安排
法官表示，陪审员将于周五前往林赛·克兰西被控杀害三名子女的达克斯伯里住宅。
警方将在陪审员参观萨默街期间封锁现场。
法庭命令中写道：“双方可以目视检查房屋外部以及以下内部区域：地下室、一楼所有房间和二楼所有房间。”“双方不得打开壁橱门、触碰房屋内任何物品或移动物品。”

Lindsay Clancy murder trial centers on past suicidal thoughts, ex-husband’s 911 call: “She killed the kids”
July 29, 2026 / 8:21 PM EDT / CBS News
As the triple murder trial of Lindsay Clancy continues in the South Shore of Massachusetts, jurors have heard a 911 call made by her ex-husband and were presented with harrowing details from the defense of the mother’s severe mental health struggles that persisted months before she strangled their three children on Jan. 24, 2023.
Prosecutors and Clancy’s attorneys have provided conflicting narratives: Plymouth County prosecutors allege the 35-year-old mother made a “calculated decision” in killing her kids, while the defense says she was overmedicated and suffering from extreme postpartum psychosis.
The trial so far has centered on Patrick Clancy’s testimony about his ex-wife’s past suicidal ideation and alleged statements that she had thoughts of harming the children.
Lindsay Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan — in the family’s home in Duxbury. According to court testimony, after strangling the children, she then attempted suicide by cutting her wrists and neck and jumping out of her second-floor bedroom window.
Here’s what to know following Day 2 of the high-profile trial:
Patrick Clancy’s 911 call: “She killed the kids”
Patrick Clancy, who is divorced from Lindsay Clancy and has since remarried, testified Wednesday that he found his bloodied ex-wife outside the home after he returned from picking up takeout food and medicine for the kids on that tragic night.

In the harrowing 911 call that lasted roughly 6 minutes, Patrick could be heard telling the dispatcher that his wife attempted to kill herself as he tried to keep her from losing consciousness.
“Lindsay, what did you do?” Patrick Clancy is heard in the call. “Where are the kids, Lindsay?”
He testified that she answered that the children were in the basement. She did not indicate that they were in danger or injured, he told the court.
Patrick Clancy is later heard in the call telling the dispatcher, “I’ve got to go check on my kids.” His footsteps can be heard as he apparently looks through the house before he’s heard screaming, “I need help in the basement right now … She killed the kids.”

In the courtroom, Lindsay audibly sobbed as she listened to the call for the first time with her face in her hands. Patrick Clancy had already left the courtroom after finishing his testimony before the call was played.
The judge previously approved Patrick Clancy’s request to keep the audio of the 911 call private and not release it to the media.
CBS Boston’s Kristina Rex, who was inside the courtroom, said hearing the call was “as horrific as you can imagine.”
Prosecutors show children’s clothes as ex-husband recalls gruesome details
Before playing the distressing 911 call, the prosecution showed the jury the clothing worn by the three children and the exercise bands Lindsay Clancy allegedly used to strangle them. The mother did not look up during the presentation of evidence.

Patrick Clancy testified that when he reached the basement, he first saw his 5-year-old daughter, Cora.
“She had a band around her neck,” he said, referring to the exercise band. “She was face down.”
Patrick Clancy said he untied the band, but she was unresponsive. He said he then saw 8-month-old Callan next to her with an exercise band around his neck as well. The father said he next searched for 3-year-old Dawson and found him in his office, also with a band around his neck.
“I knew he was gone,” Patrick Clancy testified.
He said he went “back and forth” between the children, trying to give CPR before first responders arrived and took over.
Patrick Clancy testifies ex-wife “heard a man’s voice”
Patrick Clancy said that his ex-wife was a loving mother to her kids, but she struggled with chronic insomnia, anxiety and intrusive thoughts. He said her mental health deteriorated in the months leading up to the tragedy.
“She was very dedicated. She did everything,” Patrick testified under cross-examination, adding that Lindsay would read the children books, make up songs, and bring them to music classes.
Patrick Clancy said he got a phone call from Lindsay Clancy a week after the children’s deaths, during which she talked about what she was going through at the time.

“She said she heard a man’s voice telling her if she didn’t do it now she would lose her chance, or something like that,” Patrick testified.
He said he didn’t remember if Lindsay Clancy told him that she had psychosis.
“I didn’t know what psychosis was until after this happened,” he said.
Defense attorney details long list of Lindsay Clancy’s medications
Defense attorney Kevin Reddington on Wednesday detailed the long list of medications Lindsay Clancy had been prescribed, showing a diary the mother kept of how they made her feel.
One entry dated Dec. 12 said, “2.5 valium 200 seroquel — slept well horrible thoughts & no motivation.”
Patrick Clancy testified that Lindsay Clancy took the medications as she was instructed, but when questioned by Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Sprague, he clarified that he believed she did but “was not standing over her as she took the pill.”
On Monday, Patrick Clancy also spoke about his ex-wife’s mental health struggles, which included a stay at McLean Hospital for psychiatric treatment about one month before the children were killed.
He said that despite her recent struggles, Lindsay Clancy had “one of her best days” in the hours leading up to their deaths.
What’s next in the Lindsay Clancy trial
Jurors on Friday will visit the Duxbury home where Lindsay Clancy is accused of killing her three children, the judge said.

Police will secure the area during the jury visit on Summer Street.
“The parties will be permitted to visually inspect the outside of the property as well as the following interior areas: the basement, all rooms on the first floor, and all rooms on the second floor of the premises,” the court order states. “Parties are not permitted to open closet doors, touch any items within the premises, or disturb items.”
