Psychologist Testifies Lindsay Clancy Was Not Criminally Responsible in Killing of Her 3 Children
The psychologist said Clancy had bipolar disorder with postpartum psychosis and could not appreciate the wrongfulness of killing her three children, defense attorneys said.
- Dr. Paul Zeizel, a forensic psychologist, testified Wednesday that Lindsay Clancy reported hearing a male voice commanding her to kill her children and herself while hospitalized after the January 2023 killings.
- The defense detailed how Clancy struggled with severe anxiety and insomnia beginning in late 2022, arguing she unsuccessfully sought inpatient psychiatric care, proving the tragedy stemmed from an untreated medical crisis.
- Zeizel asserted Clancy had no appreciation for the "wrongfulness" of her actions due to mental disease, though prosecutors challenged this by pointing to routine activities on the day of the killings.
- Entering its 15th day of testimony at Plymouth Superior Court, the trial centers on whether Clancy is criminally responsible, with conviction carrying a potential life sentence without parole.
- Support is available through the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988, or the National Alliance on Mental Illness HelpLine at 1-800-950-6264 Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. ET.
