PLYMOUTH, Mass. \u2014 Hundreds of supporters of Lindsay Clancy, many wearing pink, gathered Thursday outside the courthouse where she is on trial <\/a>in the killings of her three children.
Several of the 300 women, and a few men, said Clancy\u2019s story resonated with them and that they wanted to raise awareness about how the mental health system treats women. Clancy\u2019s lawyer does not dispute that she killed the children, but says she should not be held criminally responsible because she was mentally ill.
The livestreamed trial has brought attention to postpartum psychosis,<\/a> a rare mental illness Clancy\u2019s attorney says she had that is linked to the stress, sleep deprivation and hormonal changes that follow childbirth. After strangling her children, Clancy jumped from a second-story window and remains paralyzed from the waist down.
Prosecutors say the former labor and delivery nurse planned the Jan. 24, 2023, killings and contrived to get her husband out of the house<\/a> by sending him to pick up medicine for one of their children and dinner for the family. They have also questioned the seriousness of her suicide attempt.
Thursday\u2019s rally was the first time during the nearly monthlong trial that supporters have come out in such large numbers.
\u201cWomen are being dismissed, neglected and ignored when we speak up,\u201d said April Vincent, a 52-year-old paralegal from Providence, Rhode Island. \u201cWe\u2019re scared because nobody takes us seriously. Nobody wants to hear us and really we just need to be heard. I\u2019ve been dismissed plenty of times.\u201d
The women, some wearing shirts with messages including \u201cPeace For Lindsay\u201d and \u201cJustice For Lindsay,\u201d stood silently for more than an hour ahead of Thursday\u2019s proceedings. They broke into applause at the sight of Clancy\u2019s defense attorney Kevin Reddington.
Toward the end of their rally, supporters formed a circle, said the Lord\u2019s Prayer, held up their arms and formed hearts with their hands. Some held flags from different countries to show the support for Clancy was global.
Clancy, 36, has pleaded not guilty to murder charges<\/a> in the deaths of Callan, Dawson and Cora Clancy, who ranged from 8 months to 5 years old. Researchers estimate that postpartum psychosis \u2014 which is more serious and less common than postpartum depression \u2014 afflicts 1 to 2 per 1,000 women after delivery.
Jeanne Zaborski, a 72-year-old retired nurse from Rockland, Massachusetts, said she hopes the cases raise awareness about postpartum health. She and many others at the rally said they had been following the trial almost daily.
\u201cIt\u2019s very sad,\u201d Zaborski said. \u201cI am a mother. I am a grandmother. I have a sister who had problems after birth and it\u2019s just very sad. I hope Lindsay gets the care she needs and deserves and other women will come together like we did today.\u201d
Rally organizer Renee Kimball implored the crowd to trust that Reddington \u201chas Lindsay\u2019s fight.\u201d
\u201cIt\u2019s important that we just be still, have a moment of silence and know that God is working through us for Lindsay and for the rest of the world that are going through similar things she is going through,\u201d Kimball said.
