2023 triple filicide in Massachusetts, United States
On January 24, 2023, Lindsay Clancy fatally strangled her three children—five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson, and eight-month-old Callan—at the family's home in Duxbury, Massachusetts, United States. She then cut her wrists and neck and jumped from a second-story window, sustaining injuries that left her paralyzed from the waist down. Lindsay later said she heard an auditory hallucination commanding her to commit the acts and felt unable to resist.

Judge William Sullivan issued the decision Thursday, stating that prosecutors had offered enough evidence for a jury to decide whether Clancy was criminally responsible for killing her three children.
Clancy's defense attorney had asked for an acquittal, arguing that prosecutors had not presented enough evidence to prove that she killed her children.
A retired judge said he "never expected" that Lindsay Clancy's attorney would change this "bedrock" argument during Tuesday's hearing.
