Rep. Nancy Mace Calls for Public Execution of Lindsay Clancy Following Mistrial
South Carolina Representative Nancy Mace has publicly called for the execution of Lindsay Clancy, a Massachusetts mother accused of killing her three children in 2023. Following a mistrial in Clancy's case, Rep. Mace stated that Clancy 'should get the death penalty' and that it 'should be public,' suggesting methods such as a firearm or electric chair. Mace referred to Clancy as a 'serial killer' and asserted that a public execution would serve as a 'warning to women everywhere – you don’t kill your kids.' Clancy's trial concluded with a hung jury, with one juror preventing a unanimous not-guilty verdict based on mental illness. Clancy's defense argued she suffered from postpartum psychosis at the time of the deaths of her children, Cora (5), Dawson (3), and Callan (8 months), while prosecutors maintained she was aware of her actions.
