PLYMPUTH, MA — The attorney representing Lindsay Clancy's ex reportedly threatened legal action against "conspiracy theorists" in the wake of the Duxbury mom's triple murder trial.
"The ex-husband of Lindsay Clancy, whose trial for strangling their three children ended in a mistrial, said through his lawyer on Tuesday that he plans legal action against 'so-called influencers and outright conspiracy theorists' who have accused him of the killings and of framing Ms. Clancy," according to the New York Times.
Clancy, 36, was charged with the January 2023 murders of 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Callan Clancy.
"Prosecutors have said that in January 2023, Clancy intentionally strangled the three children with fitness bands in their Massachusetts home before jumping out of a second-floor window," the BBC reported. "Clancy, now 36, was paralysed by the jump and has attended the trial in a wheelchair."
"Clancy has admitted that she killed her children in 2023. However, her attorney, Kevin Reddington, claims her mental state was so impaired by postpartum mental illness that she shouldn't be held criminally responsible for their deaths," according to WBUR.
"Over the past months, Patrick Clancy and his family have been subjected to a relentless, escalating and destructive defamation campaign," Howard Cooper, an attorney at Todd & Weld, which is representing Patrick Clancy, said in a WCVB story.
"This spread of blatant and baseless falsehoods must stop," Cooper reportedly told CBC, "adding that there will be consequences for those responsible, and law enforcement has been notified."
"Enough is enough — this spread of blatant and baseless falsehoods must stop," Cooper said in an ABC story.
