Psychologist Said Lindsay Clancy Told Her Husband About Hearing Voices After Killings
The defense is calling family and a doctor to support its claim that Clancy was in a psychotic state when she killed her three children.
On Tuesday, forensic psychologist Paul Zeizel testified for the defense, detailing Lindsay Clancy's auditory hallucinations of a male voice commanding her to kill her three children.
Defense attorney Kevin Reddington argues Clancy suffered from postpartum psychosis that impaired her reality, with her condition deteriorating in late 2022 as she prepared to return to work as a labor and delivery nurse.
Dr. Elizabeth Laposata testified regarding spinal injuries Clancy sustained during a 13-foot fall, while Susan Clancy described the family's growing concern over Lindsay's declining mental state during the 2022 holiday season.
Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Sprague challenged the defense narrative, questioning the medical timeline of strangulation and contending Clancy remained in control, disputing the psychotic episode claim.
The trial resumes on Wednesday at 9 a.m., with defense experts aiming to prove Clancy was misdiagnosed and overmedicated, while prosecutors maintain her actions were intentional and seek criminal responsibility.
