[^4]\n\nProsecutors in the Lindsay Clancy trial said she planned the crime, claiming she had her husband left the house to buy the children's medicine and the family dinner, leaving her alone with the children before strangling them. [^5]\n\nProsecutors presented testimony from a psychologist who concluded that Clancy planned to commit suicide and killed her children because she was convinced they would suffer without her.
