Patrick Clancy’s lawyer said that influencers and celebrities have been put ‘on notice’ for peddling conspiracies about the father allegedly being involved in the killings of his three children.

Patrick found his kids, Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan, strangled to death in the basement of the family home in Duxbury, Massachusetts, in January 2023, he testified at the start of his ex-wife’s trial.

Just moments before, Patrick said he discovered Lindsay Clancy on their lawn after she cut her neck and wrists and jumped from a second-story window.

Lindsay has admitted to killing the children that night, but she has pleaded not guilty to murder by reason of insanity, citing that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis.

Her fate now hangs in the balance as 12 jurors continue to deliberate the high-profile case on Monday.

If found guilty of first-degree murder, she could be sentenced to life in prison without parole, but if she is found guilty of second-degree murder, she can be locked in jail for life with the possibility of parole. If the jury finds her guilty of manslaughter, she can be sent away for a maximum of 20 years. If Lindsay is acquitted, she will be committed to a state mental health facility.

Since the start of her trial on July 27, social media users and celebrities have shared unfounded theories about the case online, including that Patrick allegedly had something to do with the tragedy that has shocked America.

Lawyer Addresses Claims About Patrick

Cruel trolls have shared unproven theories that Patrick allegedly framed his ex-wife in a bid to start a new life, especially after learning that he remarried a New York City fertility doctor in April 2026.

Patrick has never spoken out about the baseless rumors, but as Lindsay’s case comes to a close, his attorney has threatened those sharing the ‘false, defamatory statements.’

‘The facts are indisputable: Patrick Clancy has suffered an unspeakable and unimaginable loss,’ Howard Cooper with Todd & Weld, a Boston-based law firm, told CNN.

Cooper continued: ‘Unfortunately, the tragedy Patrick has experienced has been compounded by patently false, defamatory, and injurious public statements.

‘The individuals making those statements – from minor influencers to major celebrities – should be on notice that their despicable actions and false, defamatory statements have caused real life consequences to the health and safety of Patrick and his family.’

But during the trial, bombshell testimony from a forensic pathologist showed how Lindsay’s injuries were consistent with an [attempt to take her own life].

Dr Elizabeth Laposata, the former chief medical examiner of Rhode Island, created diagrams that illustrated how Lindsay jumped out of the window headfirst, causing blood to go onto the shingles on the exterior of the home.

‘It was a free fall dive, head first,’ she said.

Laposata likened Clancy’s injuries, a Jefferson fracture, to a person diving into a swimming pool and hitting their head on the bottom of the pool.

Patrick and Lindsay File Separate Lawsuits Against Medical Providers

Prosecutors have argued that Lindsay set out to kill her children that day and that she is a cold-blooded murderer.

Meanwhile, her defense attorney, Kevin Reddington, has claimed that the former labor and delivery nurse strangled her kids to death while in the throes of postpartum depression and psychosis.

Reddington has also argued that Lindsay was overmedicated by medical professionals she sought help from.

She was prescribed 13 different psychiatric medications in the four months leading up to the murders, the courtroom was told.

Both Patrick and Lindsay have filed separate lawsuits against several of her medical providers, alleging that they overmedicated the mother.

This overmedication led to her conditions worsening, and ultimately to the deaths of the children, the suits claim.

Many of the providers they are suing took the stand during her murder trial, including Dr Jennifer Tufts and Nurse Rebecca Jollotta.

The civil suits are still making their way through the courts. The medical providers are challenging the lawsuits and have denied liability.

If a guilty verdict is delivered, Lindsay will not only be sent to jail, but Patrick’s lawsuits might not hold up in court, a legal expert recently told the Daily Mail.

At the same time, a guilty verdict could bring new lawsuits against the online trolls making false accusations about Patrick’s alleged role in the killings.
