GoFundMe Raising Money for Lindsay Clancy’s Parents Increases Goal to $3 Million

A GoFundMe launched to raise money for the parents of Lindsay Clancy has increased its fundraising goal in the wake of her murder trial ending in a mistrial.
The GoFundMe, which has already raised more than $1.2 million, has a goal of $3 million.
Brandee Mulligan, the GoFundMe’s organizer, said in an update on Friday, Sept. 4, that she was raising the goal because the mistrial means the legal proceedings are still ongoing.
Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial in Clancy’s trial Friday after jurors failed to reach a unanimous verdict.

According to the fundraiser, Clancy’s parents, Mike and Paula Musgrove, have been traveling to their daughter’s court appearances and have since relocated from Connecticut to Massachusetts.
“Their lives have largely been put on hold while they have continued doing what parents do: showing up for their child during the unimaginable,” Mulligan wrote. “That has come at an enormous financial cost. This fundraiser is not asking anyone to agree on Lindsay, her case, or what the outcome of her trial should be.”

Clancy is charged with murder in the January 2023 deaths of her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and 8-month-old Callan.
Although Clancy does not deny that she killed the children, she pleaded not guilty by lack of criminal responsibility, with her defense arguing that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and overmedication at the time.
After she strangled the children, Clancy attempted suicide by cutting her own wrists and jumping out of a second-story window.
She was charged with first-degree murder. The weeks-long trial ended after a week of deliberations, during which the jury was also allowed to consider charges of second-degree murder and manslaughter.
According to a note sent by the jury’s foreperson, the apparent split was 11-1.
