Plymouth, Massachusetts - Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother on trial for the murders of her three kids, broke down several times in court on Wednesday amid testimony on the children's autopsies.

According to CBS News, medical examiner Dr. Renee Stonebridge was called to the stand to discuss the injuries the children suffered when they were killed in 2023.

As the doctor went into detail about the findings of the autopsies, Clancy was heard sobbing, and Judge William Sullivan ultimately called for a recess.

The judge reminded jurors after the break that they "must separate any emotional reaction" from the evidence itself.

"Your verdict in this case is going to have to be based solely on the evidence, and it cannot be based on sympathy, or anger, or passion, or prejudice. So you've got to keep that in mind," Sullivan warned.

Clancy again sobbed during the testimony of another medical examiner, Dr. Barbara Olsen, and was at one point heard saying, "I can't do it."

Clancy is on trial for strangling her three children, five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson, and eight-month-old Callan in January 2023. Following the killings, she jumped from a window in an attempt to take her own life, which has left her paralyzed from the waist down.

The 36-year-old former nurse has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder, though she does not deny that she killed the children.

Instead, her defense team argues that she should not be held criminally responsible for the act due to severe postpartum psychosis that was exacerbated by a rapidly changing regimen of prescription drugs.
