  • Clancy, 36, has pleaded not guilty to the murders of her children, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, which occurred on January 24, 2023.
  • Her defense plans to argue an insanity defense, citing postpartum psychosis and her history of seeking psychiatric help for severe postpartum conditions.

  • Clancy's husband, Patrick Clancy, who has publicly forgiven her, is expected to testify for both the prosecution and the defense in the trial.
