Clancy's ex-husband, Patrick, took the stand and spoke in her defense, a stance he maintained during the second day of testimony.
Tuesday's proceedings were particularly dramatic as the court heard the frantic 911 call Patrick made after discovering Lindsay suffering from severe self-inflicted injuries.
He later found that she had allegedly killed their three children.

Lindsay reportedly sobbed in court while the 7-minute call was played.
Patrick also described the horrifying scene, noting blood "everywhere" in the room, as if it had been sprayed with a hose.
Clancy is accused of strangling Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and 8-month-old Callan with elastic workout bands at their home in Duxbury, Massachusetts.

Her lawyers are expected to argue insanity, claiming she was experiencing postpartum psychosis at the time of the killings.
Patrick is supporting this defense, testifying that she fell into a shame spiral after the birth of their third child and had threatened suicide and harm to the children while on multiple prescribed medications from at least three different providers.
