Clancy copycat?
Lindsay Clancy is currently on trial after she strangled her three children to death in January 2023.
The young children, Cora (5), Callan (8 months), and Dawson (3), were found dead in the Clancy, Massachusetts, home’s basement.
Scores of women online are showing their solidarity with Clancy, so there are fears of copycat murders.
The jury, which is comprised of 9 women and 3 women is currently deadlocked.
