Story summary

Lindsay Clancy, who is scheduled to appear before the court Monday morning in Plymouth, Massachusetts, has been under constant suicide watch for over three years following her alleged murder of her three children in January 2023. Her attorneys, Rosemary Scapicchio and Andrew Meyer, revealed during an exclusive interview with CBS News that Clancy suffers from postpartum psychosis and experiences severe distress upon waking, thinking about the absence of her deceased children. They noted that she has never spoken publicly since the incident but regularly expresses a desire to end her life if given the opportunity. The attorneys emphasized that this was a psychiatric emergency that went untreated at the time, and they fear for Clancy's mental well-being as she faces potential retrial.
