Summary
Patrick Clancy and Rachel Danis said on "60 Minutes" they are starting a family, marking their first joint public interview since Lindsay Clancy's Sept. 4 mistrial.
Clancy said he wants to tell a future child about Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, and said he had already forgiven Lindsay despite no request from her.
His account tied that forgiveness to mental illness, not malice: he said Lindsay's worsening postpartum symptoms preceded the January 2023 killings and called online conspiracy theories a harmful distraction from perinatal mental health.
New York became the place where Clancy rebuilt his life after suicidal grief, and where he met Danis in January 2024 before the two married in April.
The interview extends the story beyond the deadlocked trial, shifting attention from courtroom blame to how Clancy is carrying his children's memory into a new chapter.
