Multiple tier-1 sources confirm Clancy strangled her three children in January 2023, and her defense does not dispute the act itself.

Kevin Kietzman Has Issues · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. Reuters reports no one at the trial disputed that Clancy strangled her three children with exercise bands on January 24, 2023.[1]
Supports. The prosecution alleged the killings were intentional and calculated, and prosecutors say Clancy deliberately created an opportunity to kill the children.[2][4][5]
Supports. AP reports prosecutors say the food-and-pharmacy request shows she acted intentionally.[3]
Context. The defense argued Clancy was in the grip of postpartum psychosis and not criminally responsible; the jury deadlocked and a mistrial was declared September 4, so no verdict has found intent.[2][4][6]
Context. On November 2, the defense argued prosecutors had not proven Clancy killed the children, a dispute over proof in court rather than over the strangling itself.[7]
