Lindsay Clancy trial enters defense phase after prosecution rests.

A GoFundMe for Michael and Paula Musgrove, parents of Lindsay Clancy, surpassed $800,000 on Monday as her murder trial entered its fourth week in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

• 18 jurors have heard from more than 60 witnesses so far.
• $2 million is the campaign's stated goal; donations range from $5 to $5,000.
• Clancy, 36, is charged in the January 2023 deaths of Cora, 5; Dawson, 3; and Callan, 8 months.
• Clancy has been held at Tewksbury Hospital for court-ordered mental health treatment since May 2023.

Why it matters: The trial's central question is whether Clancy was legally responsible for killing her children. Her defense does not dispute she committed the acts.

• Prosecutors allege she sent her husband on an errand, then strangled the children with exercise bands, and later staged a suicide attempt.
• Defense attorney Kevin Reddington argues Clancy was suffering from postpartum psychosis and was overmedicated in the months before the deaths.

Where they split: The core dispute is whether Clancy acted with deliberate intent, as prosecutors argue, or was incapacitated by a psychiatric condition, as her defense maintains.

What’s next: The prosecution must rest before Reddington presents the defense case.

• Patrick Clancy, her ex-husband, has already testified about her deteriorating mental health.
• Will the jury find Clancy not criminally responsible under Massachusetts law?
• What impact, if any, will the large public fundraiser have on trial proceedings or perceptions?
