Prosecution calls final rebuttal witnesses in Lindsay Clancy trial as closing arguments near
Prosecutors say two more rebuttal witnesses remain as they try to counter the defense’s postpartum psychosis claim before closing arguments.
- On Monday, August 24, 2026, prosecutors continued presenting rebuttal witnesses in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy at Plymouth Superior Court, challenging defense claims about her mental state during the 2023 killings of her three children.
- Defense attorney Kevin Reddington rested his case Friday after calling forensic psychiatrist Dr. Phillip Resnick, who testified that Clancy was experiencing postpartum psychosis and heard a voice "commanding her" to kill the children.
- Forensic psychiatrist Dr. Avram Mack, the prosecution's first rebuttal witness, testified that while Clancy suffered from major depressive disorder, he found no evidence of psychosis and disputed she lacked capacity to understand her actions.
- Although closing arguments were expected early this week, prosecutors indicated they still have two additional rebuttal witnesses to call, delaying the trial's progression toward jury deliberations.
- Jurors must determine if the defendant "retained the substantial capacity to appreciate the wrongfulness or criminality of their conduct" before the court provides final instructions for deliberations in this closely watched Massachusetts case.
