Killer Mom Trial, Prosecution Closing Arguments:  Lindsay Clancy Killed Her Kids To End Her Own Misery

The prosecution began its closing arguments by acknowledging Lindsay Clancy was mentally ill, but pointed out that she had an “abundance of help” and was in a privileged position. Prosecutor Jennifer Sprague told jurors that Clancy lied to health care providers, lied to her husband, friends and family., telling them she was getting better. Sprague at one point, even made a comparison to Andrea Yates, saying Yates tried to commit suicide twice to try and protect her children, until the judge intervened.  The prosecution ended by saying Clancy left her children “discarded on the basement floor, like broken toys, because she was done playing the game.”
