In a Massachusetts courtroom, the family of Lindsay Clancy — a woman charged with killing her three children — stepped forward to offer what legal proceedings so rarely provide: the texture of a life before its most catastrophic moment. As the defense opened its case, a mother and sister took the stand not to dispute facts, but to offer context, asking the jury to hold both the gravity of what occurred and the complexity of who Clancy was. It is an ancient tension at the heart of justice — between what a person did and what a person was.
