Patrick Clancy discusses grief and online rumors in exclusive 60 Minutes interview
Patrick Clancy sat down with correspondent Ross Douthat to talk about his loss, his children's memories, and the unfounded conspiracy theories that spread after his ex-wife's murder trial ended in a mistrial.
In a televised interview, Patrick Clancy opened up about the pain of losing his three children and reflected on his former spouse's legal proceedings. He addressed the wave of baseless claims circulating on social media following the trial, which concluded without a verdict after a single juror could not be persuaded of an insanity defense. The defense had argued that Lindsay Clancy suffered postpartum psychosis when she killed the children. Prosecutors have not yet indicated whether a retrial will be pursued. The segment will air on Sunday at 7 p.m. ET/PT.
