Lindsay Clancywas in good spirits hours before she allegedly killed her three young children, her husband told police, according to prosecutors.
In court Tuesday, Plymouth County Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Sprague saidPatrick Clancytold police his wife’s demeanor that day didn’t raise any red flags, and in fact, “the defendant was having one of her best days.”
“She was smiling and happy, and there was no indication that she was going to harm the kids,” Patrick said, per the prosecution.
She has since pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder, three counts of strangulation, and three counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.

She remains paralyzed from the waist down, her attorney says.
Prosecutors say the alleged murders were executed with “deliberate premeditation and extreme atrocity and cruelty,” and accused Clancy of intentionally sending her husband, Patrick, on an errand run to pick up dinner and prescription medication at a CVS that evening so that she could act out her plan to kill their kids.
“She created the situation, and she used Apple Maps to make sure she would have enough time to strangle each child before her husband returned from where she had sent him,” prosecutors said.
A judge declined to set monetary bail for Clancy, and instead, ordered she remain held at her current hospital until medically cleared to be transferred to another facility.
She is set for a return to court May 2.
