Lindsay Clancy spoke on the record Tuesday during her murder trial for the first time since it began last week — responding to the judge’s questions in a twist that could speed up proceedings that were expected to drag on for up to two months.

The Massachusetts mother, 35, doesn’t contest that she strangled her three young children while experiencing a slew of postpartum mental illnesses in January 2023.

On Monday, the 18-person jury (12 jurors and six alternates) heard excerpts from a diary that Clancy, 35, kept in the months leading up to the horrific killings — in which she describes being “completely overwhelmed” and “desperate to get a mental break from taking care of everyone” while she grappled with “horrible insomnia and anxiety.”

Clancy, who tried to take her own life after strangling her kids, is charged with three counts of murder and faces life in prison without parole if convicted.

Defense attorneys for the labor and delivery nurse argue that she is not criminally responsible for killing Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, because she was suffering at the time from the rare, severe phenomenon of postpartum psychosis exacerbated by a dangerous cocktail of 15 psychiatric medications, despite seeking mental health treatment for months.
