Apple Watch data reveals Lindsay Clancy's final movements before killings.
Lindsay Clancy's mother, Paula Musgrove, told jurors Monday that her daughter revealed thoughts of harming her children during a kitchen conversation in early-to-mid December 2022. Clancy strangled her three children — Cora, 5; Dawson, 3; and Callan, 8 months — on January 24, 2023.
- 30 prescriptions for 13 drugs were issued to Clancy in the four months before the killings.
- Musgrove said she was not concerned for the children's safety after Clancy's disclosure.
- Prosecutors called more than 70 witnesses before resting their case on August 17.
- A GoFundMe for Clancy's parents has raised approximately $850,000–$860,000.
Why it matters: The defense argues Clancy is not criminally responsible, citing severe postpartum psychosis worsened by rapid medication changes. The prosecution argues she acted intentionally and manipulated her medical providers.
- Musgrove testified Clancy said the medication was "destroying her mind" and that "this isn't me."
- During cross-examination, prosecutors asked Musgrove why she had not sought to have Clancy committed after the December disclosure.

Center coverage, 13 sources: The center presents both the prosecution's portrait of a manipulative defendant and the defense's portrait of a mentally ill mother, foregrounding the legal stakes and witness testimony with limited emphasis on broader cultural debate.
