DUXBURY — Accused triple child-killer Lindsay Clancy is trying to push her trial back yet again, asking a judge to delay proceedings even further as she fights charges she strangled her three young children in one of the most shocking cases Massachusetts has ever seen.

Clancy, who survived a suicide attempt after the January 2023 killings, was already granted a delay pushing her trial into early 2026. Now her defense team wants additional time, arguing they still need to complete psychiatric reviews and line up medical experts as they pursue an insanity defense. They claim Clancy was suffering from severe postpartum psychosis and was heavily medicated — leaving her mentally broken and not criminally responsible.

Prosecutors paint a far darker picture, saying a mountain of evidence shows the murders were deliberate and calculated. Clancy allegedly used exercise bands to kill 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Callan before attempting to take her own life, leaving the South Shore community in horror and disbelief.

The new request has sparked frustration, with many saying the families — and the public — deserve a trial, not endless delays. If approved, the case could stretch more than three years past the murders, prolonging an already agonizing wait for answers and accountability in a tragedy that shook the state to its core.
