Prosecution rests in Lindsay Clancy murder trial. Defense now gets its turn calling witnesses

Defense says Lindsay Clancy was overmedicated and suffering from postpartum psychosis as jurors weigh criminal responsibility for the deaths of her three children.

  • On Tuesday, former mother-in-law Susan Clancy testified for the defense that Lindsay Clancy was 'begging for help' in the months before the 2023 killings of her three children.
  • Psychiatrist Dr. Donald Condie testified that after Lindsay's Zoloft dosage increased to 50mg, she reported, 'she felt number, not herself,' noting antidepressants can trigger side effects quickly.
  • Testifying Monday, Paula Musgrove described the decline in Lindsay's mental health during late 2022, recounting that Lindsay believed her medications 'were destroying her mind' and admitted thoughts of harming the children.
  • While the defense claims postpartum psychosis left Lindsay not criminally responsible, prosecutors maintain she planned the January 2023 deaths and fully understood her actions at the time.
  • Testimony continues for the 15th day in Plymouth Superior Court as the defense presents witnesses aimed at demonstrating the significant mental health deterioration Lindsay experienced before the killings.
