Defense attorney Kevin Reddington began his closing argument by showing the jury two photos – a happy image of the entire Clancy family next to a photo of severely-injured Lindsay Clancy on a hospital bed following her suicide attempt.

He argued that Clancy repeatedly sought help from the medical system, but that she was overmedicated and misdiagnosed.

Speaking toward the prosecution, Reddington accused them of furthering Clancy’s suffering by suggesting her suicide attempt was not serious, scrutinizing her medical records, and having experts question her state of mind. Judge William Sullivan at one point reminded Reddington to talk to the jurors.

Reddington also highlighted the evidence and testimony they presented to show that Clancy was a caring mother, suggesting she had no motive to kill her children.

“This young lady did nothing wrong in her life. She was a nurse, a daughter, a wife, and a darn good mother,” Reddington said in his closing.
