Horrific new details about “clearly psychotic” Lindsay Clancy‘s heinous act — and state of mind — the night she strangled her three kids are coming to light at her murder trial Friday, as Massachusetts prosecutors call their final witnesses to rebut her defense.

The Catholic killer mom told her middle child Dawson, 3, to “go to God” as she killed him — then his sister Cora, 5, and baby brother Callan, 8 months — with exercise bands in the basement of the family’s Duxbury, Mass., home in January 2023, a psychiatrist told jurors, wrapping up four weeks of the grueling trial.

Closing arguments are expected early next week.

Throngs of pink-clad Clancy supporters began showing up outside Plymouth County Superior Court in Plymouth, Mass., Thursday, as the heartbreaking case captivates the nation, creating a watershed moment for discussion about postpartum mental illness and how struggling new mothers are treated.

Clancy’s defense argues she is not criminally responsible for strangling her young kids with exercise bands because she was suffering from undiagnosed postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder, exacerbated by a dangerous cocktail of 13 powerful psychiatric medications.

The labor and delivery nurse, 36, faces life in prison without parole if convicted on the three counts of first-degree murder.

Court has wrapped for the day, but keep reading to catch up on Friday’s news from the Lindsay Clancy trial:

Lindsay Clancy told her 3-year-old son to “go to God” as she strangled him, a psychiatrist told jurors.

The final photo of Dawson Clancy, taken by dad Patrick Clancy, as the three-year-old celebrates fully dressing himself for the first time, on Jan. 24, 2023 — the day mom Lindsay killed him.

Dr. Avram Mack recounted what Clancy told him she did the day she killed her three kids and tried to kill herself.

“First she took Dawson down to the basement,” and wrapped an elastic exercise band around his neck, the doctor — whom prosecutors called to the stand as they make their rebuttal — said Friday.

“While that was happening she was saying out loud, ‘Go to God,’ ” Mack testified.

Clancy also said something similar to her other two kids as she took their lives, the psychiatrist said she told him.

Dawson, the middle Clancy child, was the first to be strangled by mom Lindsay Clancy, according to a psychiatrist’s testimony Friday.

“My understanding is that the sentiment ‘Go to God’ is a way of bestowing or thinking about the children as innocents, as ones who hadn’t done wrong while what she was doing was the opposite, was wrong or could be construed as wrong,” Mack said.

“So ‘Go to God’ not only was a hope for the children but a description of the situation,” he told the jury.
