A Massachusetts mom charged over the deaths of her three children allegedly said she was "unable to express any emotion" before the tragic incident.
Lindsay Clancy made headlines last month following the deaths of her three children.
It has since been reported that on January 24, the mom had been "happy" and "smiling" throughout the day, according to her husband, Patrick Clancy. The Plymouth District Court heard earlier this week how the mom had built a snowman with five-year-old daughter Cora and three-year-old son Dawson, and texted photos to the kids' grandmother.
However, after Lindsay asked Patrick to leave the family home to pick up some food and medicine, the father returned to find the two children and their seven-month-old brother Callan in the basement. They had reportedly been strangled with exercise bands.
Lindsay was found in the backyard after reportedly attempting to take her own life by leaping out of a second-story window, per NBC News.
After Patrick called 911, the three children were rushed to the hospital. Cora and Dawson were pronounced dead later that evening, and baby Callan sadly succumbed to his injuries a few days later.
PEOPLE reports that Lindsay is still paralyzed from the waist down. After being charged with two counts of murder, three counts of strangulation, and three counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, the mom pleaded not guilty.
On Tuesday, Lindsay's defense attorney Kevin Reddington told the court about the mom's mental well-being prior to the tragedy, and claimed that the former nurse had "been unable to express any happiness, or sadness, or cry" in the weeks leading up to the children's deaths.
Reddington said that the mom had been prescribed "a number of medications" by doctors for postpartum depression, and even contended that Lindsay may have been suffering from "possible postpartum psychosis".
The attorney then went on to claim that "about a month or two ago", Lindsay had said, "I just wish that I could feel something", as she reportedly battled with depression and anxiety - which Reddington argues could have been exacerbated by her medication.
A GoFundMe for Patrick currently stands at over $1 million as he faces medical bills and funeral costs.
In a statement shared on the fundraiser, he revealed that he has forgiven his wife, and asks that others do the same.
Due to Lindsey's medical condition, a judge has not set monetary bail, but has ordered that she remain in hospital until medically cleared.
