Patrick Clancy testified Wednesday about the moments leading up to his discovery of the couple’s three young children inside their Mᴀssachusetts home.

According to his testimony, he immediately became alarmed when he found the bedroom door locked and realized something was seriously wrong.

Prosecutors allege that Lindsay Clancy was responsible for the daths of the couple’s three children before attempting to kll herself. The defense has argued that severe mental illness affected her ability to understand or control her actions.

Patrick’s testimony is one part of a trial focused not only on what happened that day, but also on the difficult question of whether Lindsay should be held criminally responsible.

As more testimony is presented, the jury is being asked to weigh the evidence and competing explanations surrounding the tragedy.

The courtroom remains closely watched as the trial continues and more details about the family’s final hours are examined.
