Lindsay Clancy Supporters Wear Pink and Rally Outside Her Murder Trial: ‘God Is Working Through Us’
Suspected killer Lindsay Clancy has received a wave of support as she stands trial for the murder of her three children. One group, donning matching pink t-shirts, arrived outside the Massachusetts courthouse on Thursday, August 19.
“Women are being dismissed, neglected and ignored when we speak up,” April Vincent, a 52-year-old paralegal from Providence, Rhode Island, told NBC News. “We’re scared because nobody takes us seriously. Nobody wants to hear us and really we just need to be heard. I’ve been dismissed plenty of times.”
Renee Kimball, the organizer for the rally, added, “It’s 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.”
A third supporter told the outlet, “It’s very sad. I am a mother. I am a grandmother. I have a sister who had problems after birth and it’s just very sad. I hope Lindsay gets the care she needs and deserves and other women will come together like we did today.”
As Globe previously reported, Lindsay, 36, allegedly killed the three children she shared with then-husband Patrick Clancy — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months — in January 2023. She has entered not-guilty pleas and her attorneys contend that an undiagnosed case of postpartum psychosis left her severely mentally ill at the time. Meanwhile, prosecutor Shanan Buckingham said in his opening statement that Lindsay “deliberately and meticulously killed” her three children in her Duxbury, Massachusetts, home.
