Candace Owens has publicly backed Lindsay Clancy, saying she is “obviously not guilty” in the deaths of her three children. Owens blamed the doctors who treated Clancy and the psychiatric medicines she was prescribed before the January 2023 killings. Her comments have resurfaced while Clancy’s murder trial in Massachusetts is nearing its final stage. Clancy has admitted killing Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, but has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. Her defense says severe postpartum psychosis and the effects of multiple medicines left her unable to understand her actions.
Candace Owens says Lindsay Clancy was put into ‘intentional psychosis’
A 46-second clip shared by KanekoaTheGreat shows Owens explaining her view of the case. She said she reached that conclusion when Clancy was first arrested and the case became public in 2023. Owens said: “I made my thoughts clear on this the moment that she um was arrested, the moment that it made the news. Lindsey Clancy is obviously not guilty. There are a fleet of doctors who should be imprisoned for what they put her on. I regularly speak out against Big Pharma.” She further added, “They get away with murder all the time and in this case they are getting away with the murder of really her three children but also completely destroyed her life. Lindsey Clancy in my opinion is not guilty. Uh she was put into a an intentional psychosis when she probably just needed to give her kids away for a weekend to get better but they constantly give you these drugs that do not make things better. And the cocktail of 10 pharmaceuticals that she was on is absolute madness. Absolute madness.” Owens therefore places much of the blame on Clancy’s medical treatment. Her comments are an opinion, not a finding by the court. The trial has not established that doctors intentionally caused psychosis in Clancy.
Lindsay Clancy trial focuses on postpartum psychosis and medication
Clancy’s defense does not dispute that she caused the deaths of her three children at the family’s Duxbury, Massachusetts, home on January 24, 2023. Instead, her lawyers argue that she was suffering from severe postpartum psychosis and should not be held criminally responsible. Court evidence has shown that Clancy received 30 prescriptions for 13 psychiatric medicines from several providers before the killings. Her defense has argued that the treatment failed to identify her worsening condition and that the combination of medicines may have made her mental state worse. Prosecutors have challenged parts of that account and argued that Clancy acted deliberately. The case has now reached its final stretch. Testimony ended on Thursday, August 20, with closing arguments expected early next week, according to CBS News. The jury must ultimately decide whether Clancy is legally responsible for the deaths. The case has also brought renewed attention to postpartum psychosis, a rare but serious condition that can involve hallucinations, delusions and major changes in behaviour. In Clancy’s case, experts have disagreed over her mental state and whether it removed her criminal responsibility. Owens’ comments come as the court prepares to hear the final arguments in a trial where the central question is not whether Clancy caused her children’s deaths, but what was happening in her mind when they occurred.
