The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Testimony ended Wednesday in Lindsay Clancy’s Massachusetts murder trial after 85 witnesses, and closing arguments are set for Thursday. The final witness, prosecution forensic psychiatrist Gregory Saathoff, testified that Clancy could understand right from wrong, control her behavior and was not acting on a command hallucination when her three children were killed. Clancy, 36, has pleaded not guilty to three first-degree murder counts in the January 2023 strangulation deaths of her children in Duxbury. The judge said jurors may consider manslaughter but not alleged police errors.
