Day 19 of the Lindsay Clancy murder trial in Plymouth Superior Court, and the prosecution's rebuttal case fell apart in slow motion. Forensic psychologist Dr. Kirk Heilbrun called the postpartum psychosis defense "convenient," offered the clearest alternate theory yet, and then said the words "isn't suicide a mortal sin" in front of the jury. Kevin Reddington moved for a mistrial. Judge William Sullivan denied it and then reprimanded the prosecution anyway. The jury went home early. Closing arguments are Wednesday.But the story nobody is covering is the firm. Both of the Commonwealth's rebuttal experts were retained through Park Dietz and Associates, named for the psychiatrist whose false Law & Order testimony got Andrea Yates' conviction overturned in 2005. The defense's star witness on Friday was Dr. Phillip Resnick, who was the Yates defense expert. This trial is a rematch, and the two prosecution experts cannot even agree on what is wrong with Lindsay Clancy.IN THIS EPISODEReddington takes apart Dr. Avram Mack on the DSM's four week postpartum window, the WHO's different standard, and the proposed six week revision. "Postpartum is not a disease, doctor." Mack admits it is roughly the third time in his career he has testified on criminal responsibility, and that he has treated about ten women with postpartum psychosis since 2001. On cross he concedes that blood work and thyroid testing should have been done, and as far as he can tell were not.Then the firm. Park Dietz and Associates, the Andrea Yates conviction reversal, the joint evaluation at Tewksbury, and why "two independent experts" is doing a lot of work in that sentence.Then Heilbrun. His testing found no malingering and a slight tendency to underreport symptoms. He diagnosed bipolar II, which splits the Commonwealth's own two experts. He offered "suicide combined with altruistic filicide" as the alternate theory, a theory in which love is the motive. He attacked the 18 minute voice on three fronts. And he used the word "convenient."Then the mistrial. "Intentional misconduct," Sullivan's instruction from the bench, and the second time religion has entered this trial through the prosecution's door.SOURCESBoston Globe, CBS Boston, ABC News, Boston 25 News, CNN, Fox News Digital, Court TV, and archival reporting from the Washington Post, NBC News and Psychiatric News on the 2005 Andrea Yates reversal.IF YOU NEED ITNational Maternal Mental Health Hotline: call or text 1-833-TLC-MAMA.

Cross-examination turned into a credibility audit in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial this week. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation in the deaths of her children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — allegedly strangled with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She's pleaded not guilty, and defense attorney Kevin Reddington is arguing insanity: severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Reddington took his shot at Dr. Kirk Heilbrun, the prosecution's forensic psychologist, and didn't waste time. First point: the evaluation happened about three years after the killings — and Heilbrun himself agreed that sooner is better for assessing someone's mental state after an offense. Second point: Heilbrun's direct experience treating mothers who killed their children came from roughly 44 years ago, four or five patients total. Not exactly current caseload material.Then Reddington opened the CV — about 70 pages of it — and read the gaps into the record. Plenty on juveniles, on prisoners reintegrating into society, on sexual abuse. Nothing on pregnancy. Nothing on postpartum depression or psychosis. Heilbrun confirmed he's coached both prosecution and defense on how to present expert testimony, but Reddington made the point that his actual career has run mostly through prosecutors and corrections. Heilbrun also testified he never met co-evaluator Avram Mack in person until they crossed paths at Tewksbury Hospital, and that his total contact with Clancy amounted to 10.5 hours spread across three days.Afterward, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Husband Patrick Clancy, out running errands that day, has since relocated to Manhattan.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Eleven hours. That's how long forensic psychiatrist Dr. Gregory Saathoff, who's worked with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit, spent interviewing Lindsay Clancy over Zoom across May and June 2026 — and today he told a Plymouth Superior Court jury what came out of it. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is accused of strangling her three children — Cora (5), Dawson (3), and Callan (7 months) — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney Kevin Reddington is arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Saathoff isn't a stranger to this specific horror — he testified he's diagnosed and treated five to seven women in the prison system who killed their children, and co-authored a 1980s paper on postpartum psychosis with four colleagues. He explained to jurors that psychosis itself isn't a disease but a symptom, and distinguished Serious Mental Illness like schizophrenia and bipolar I from the broader Any Mental Illness category that covers things like anxiety disorder and PTSD.Then came the substance: Saathoff testified Clancy described an external voice that started while she was making the kids' dinner, right after a call with Patrick Clancy — telling her this was her last chance, that she had to kill the children and then herself. The voice, he said, stopped after she strangled Callan, her youngest — though it had already gone silent before her own suicide attempt. He called it unusual that this was the first time she'd ever heard it. He also noted inconsistencies between Clancy's account and collateral witness statements, pointing specifically to the Three V takeout order and Clancy allegedly asking her husband to run an errand to a particular drugstore.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

There was a near-derailment at the end of testimony Monday. In the Lindsay Clancy murder trial at Plymouth Superior Court, defense attorney Kevin Reddington moved for a mistrial Monday after the concept of "mortal sin" surfaced for the second time from the prosecution's side. Judge William Sullivan denied it — but told jurors to disregard any comments about sin or religiosity, and made clear the prosecution needed to rein in its own witness before he got back on the stand.That witness was Dr. Kirk Heilbrun, a forensic psychologist testifying for the prosecution's rebuttal. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is charged with three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation in the deaths of her children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — allegedly strangled with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She's pleaded not guilty, and Reddington is arguing insanity: severe postpartum psychosis compounded by psychiatric overmedication.Heilbrun didn't dispute that Clancy has bipolar II. What he disputed was the psychosis framing. His read: this was a serious suicide attempt paired with altruistic filicide, and peritraumatic dissociation — the trauma response during the act itself — isn't psychosis. He testified she understood the legality of her actions and could have conformed her conduct to the law, which in a courtroom is the whole ballgame for criminal responsibility. He called her calling her husband back mid-event unusual, but not evidence of self-interest — evidence of a mother already grieving.Clancy allegedly attempted suicide afterward by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Husband Patrick Clancy was running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The insanity defense in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial took another hit — or held its ground, depending on who you ask — as forensic psychologist Dr. Kirk Heilbrun returned to the stand as a prosecution rebuttal witness. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and is being defended by attorney Kevin Reddington on grounds of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Reddington resumed his cross-examination after a morning recess, still pressing Heilbrun on why he's never written specifically about postpartum psychosis, and running through a symptom list that Heilbrun agreed matched postpartum depression — all of it symptoms Clancy had reported. Heilbrun clarified on redirect that the same symptoms also apply to major depressive disorder, general depression, and bipolar II, and said he'd received more information on this case than any other in his career. He also drew a distinction that mattered: Clancy wasn't thought broadcasting, she believed her own vivid, unwanted thoughts were somehow heard by others. Then came the part prosecutors clearly wanted on record — Clancy never disclosed to any provider that she wanted to harm her children, repeatedly denied suicidal ideation, and had no observed or reported psychotic symptoms. On re-cross, Heilbrun testified there was no evidence she lied, faked, or malingered any of her reported mental health issues or suicidal thoughts.Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out of the home running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial, underway in Plymouth Superior Court, is expected to last several weeks.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy, the 34-year-old Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, is back in Plymouth Superior Court, and this week the prosecution brought out its heaviest hitter yet. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and defense attorney Kevin Reddington is running an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Monday got messy before the end. Reddington moved for a mistrial after "mortal sin" came up for the second time from the prosecution's side. Judge William Sullivan said no, but told jurors to strike anything about sin or religiosity from Dr. Kirk Heilbrun's testimony — and made it clear the prosecution needed to keep their own witness on a shorter leash.

Lindsay Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is on trial in Plymouth Superior Court on three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, accused of killing her children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She's pleaded not guilty, and attorney Kevin Reddington is running an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. If direct examination was about Dr. Kirk Heilbrun's conclusions, cross was about his credentials — and Reddington went at them hard. He got Heilbrun to admit his evaluation of Clancy happened roughly three years after the killings, and got him to concede on the record that earlier is better when it comes to assessing someone's mental state after an offense. Not exactly a ringing endorsement of his own methodology. Heilbrun also testified he'd treated four or five women who'd killed their children — about 44 years ago. Reddi

Dr. Gregory Saathoff, a forensic psychiatrist who's consulted with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit, spent today explaining what he found when he sat down with Lindsay Clancy — the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children, 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan, with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney Kevin Reddington is building an insanity defense around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Saathoff isn't new to this territory — he told the court he's evaluated and treated five to seven women in the prison system who killed their children, and co-authored a paper on postpartum psychosis back in the 1980s. He drew a line for jurors between psychosis, which he called a symptom rather than a standalone illness, and the diagnoses that can produce it. H

Dr. Kirk Heilbrun, a forensic psychologist called as a prosecution rebuttal witness, spent another day on the stand in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings. Cross-examination resumed after a morning recess, and Reddington kept working the same angle he's been on for days — how severe was this, really, and why hasn't Heilbrun published on postpartum psychosis specifically. He walked through a list of symptoms and got Heilbrun to agree they line up with postpartum depression, all of which Clancy
Two people spent more time with Lindsay Clancy than anyone else connected to this case — her psychiatrist, who saw her fourteen times by video call, and a hospital chaplain who has visited her roughly two hundred times over three years. Neither one ever wrote down the thing her defense now needs a jury to believe. The psychiatrist testified Clancy never appeared psychotic. The chaplain testified Clancy described a male voice ordering her to kill her three children and then herself — but admitted under cross-examination that in two hundred visits, she never once put that voice in her notes. That contradiction is now the center of the Lindsay Clancy murder trial out of Duxbury, Massachusetts. Once an insanity defense is raised, Massachusetts law shifts the burden onto prosecutors, who must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Clancy was criminally responsible when she killed her children with exercise bands. To win, the state needs jurors to decide the chaplain missed the most important disclosure of her career, or that Clancy built the story after she survived her own fall from a suicide attempt. The phone forensics complicate both theories — searches for "symptoms of postpartum psychosis," a mapped route for her husband's errand, and a takeout order timed to clear him out of the house. The defense says she was drowning in a medical system that kept changing her prescriptions without hearing her. The prosecution says the planning tells the real story. This episode breaks down what's left for the jury to decide before closing arguments, expected the week of August 24.

The insanity defense in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial ran into its toughest witness yet today: Dr. Kirk Heilbrun, a forensic psychologist testifying for the prosecution. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney Kevin Reddington argues she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication when it happened.Heilbrun evaluated Clancy three years after the fact and testified that she tends to underreport or minimize her symptoms — an odd thing for a prosecution witness to concede, and worth noting he didn't downplay her suicide attempt at all. He called it serious, said she remains on one-to-one suicide watch at Tewksbury, and said she's still considered at risk today. Where he broke from the defense is on motive: he testified he doesn't think psychosis drove the killings — he thinks Clancy was trying to spare her children from suffering after she took her own life. He noted her symptoms appeared only during the offense, with no accompanying delusions, and that the voice repeating "this is your last chance" registers to him as intrusive thoughts rather than a command hallucination. He also flagged that her first words to her husband afterward were "I tried to kill myself" — not a reference to any voice.It's the kind of testimony that doesn't need commentary to land. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The prosecution's own rebuttal witness may have handed the defense some of its strongest material yet in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial. Forensic psychologist Dr. Kirk Heilbrun testified Monday about the months before Clancy allegedly strangled her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023 in Duxbury, Massachusetts. Clancy, 34, faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney Kevin Reddington is arguing severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Heilbrun began with a lesson in retention bias — the pull toward favoring whoever's paying for the evaluation — then detailed the scope of his own work: about 180 hours combing through police, medical, and court records plus surveillance footage, 10.5 hours testing and meeting with Clancy directly, and 1.5 hours of collateral interviews. His timeline was specific. Limited medical history and mild anxiety before September 2022. Worsening anxiety and depression after October 2022. By December 2022, intrusive and unwelcome thoughts about self-harm and, at times, harming the children — thoughts, he clarified, not hallucinations.Then came the diagnostic contradiction: Heilbrun found no evidence in the records of mania or hypomania consistent with bipolar disorder, even though Tewksbury Hospital had Clancy diagnosed with bipolar disorder for three and a half years. His own conclusion was bipolar II. He closed by outlining the legal insanity standard — mental disease or defect, capacity to know right from wrong, and ability to control conduct. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down.

The prosecution spent Monday's redirect trying to put Dr. Avram Mack back together after Kevin Reddington's cross-examination left him bruised in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy — the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children, 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan, with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and is mounting an insanity defense built on claims of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Prosecutors used their redirect to walk Mack through something the defense hadn't dwelled on: that "postpartum onset" exists as a specifier within diagnoses like bipolar disorder and major depression, even if postpartum psychosis itself isn't a standalone DSM entry. It's a technical point, but it's the kind of technical point that can quietly undercut a defense theory without anyone raising their voice. Beyond that, the redirect stayed in the weeds — definitions of what "postpartum" actually covers clinically, more on Mack's qualifications, and other procedural cleanup. No bombshells here, just two sides fighting over the credibility of one witness inch by inch, Reddington working to keep the earlier damage intact, prosecutors working to patch it.It's not the most cinematic day of testimony, but it matters — juries remember whether an expert held up under pressure, and this was the prosecution's chance to make sure Mack's opinion still counts for something. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down.

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial hit a rough patch Monday for the prosecution, as its own rebuttal witness, psychiatrist Dr. Avram Mack, spent hours under cross-examination from defense attorney Kevin Reddington. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorneys are pursuing an insanity defense centered on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Reddington didn't ease in. He started with prior cases where courts had ruled Mack unqualified to testify, then moved to money — Mack testified he pulls in several hundred thousand dollars a year doing expert witness work. Asked to define confirmatory bias and then asked point-blank if he'd shown it evaluating Clancy, Mack said no. He testified he met with Clancy in 2026, three years removed from the killings, having already reviewed defense records, DCF documentation, and medical history — the evaluation itself ran roughly eight hours across two doctors and multiple days, including a full day of testing. He also acknowledged the diagnostic split in the case: Drs. Heilbrun, Resnick, and Zeizel diagnosed bipolar 2, another doctor diagnosed bipolar 1, and postpartum psychosis, he noted, isn't a recognized DSM diagnosis at all.Despite the rough cross, prosecutors are still expected to argue Clancy understood what she was doing regardless of her mental state. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down.

Dr. Avram Mack, the psychiatrist prosecutors brought in to rebut the defense's insanity claim, spent Monday getting worked over by defense attorney Kevin Reddington in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy — the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children, 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan, with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and is mounting an insanity defense built on claims of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Reddington opened by dredging up prior cases where courts found Mack didn't have the credentials to testify — not exactly a confidence builder before he even got to the substance. Then came the number nobody likes saying out loud in a courtroom: several hundred thousand dollars a year, Mack's take from expert testimony work. Reddington had him define confirmatory bias, then asked if he had it evaluating Clancy. Mack said no. He testified he evaluated Clancy in 2026 — three years after the killings — armed beforehand with defense records, DCF files, and medical history, across two doctors and roughly eight hours of interviews plus testing. He also noted that Drs. Heilbrun, Resnick, and Zeizel landed on bipolar 2, another doctor said bipolar 1, and that postpartum psychosis isn't even in the DSM, so he wouldn't use the term as a diagnosis.Prosecutors still need Mack's testimony to hold up despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Dr. Kirk Heilbrun, a forensic psychologist called as a prosecution rebuttal witness, spent an ho on the stand laying out a timeline that doesn't do the prosecution any favors in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy — the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children, 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan, with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and is mounting an insanity defense centered on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Heilbrun opened by explaining retention bias — the tendency to lean toward whichever side hired you for the evaluation — before detailing his own work: roughly 180 hours reviewing police records, medical records, court documents, and surveillance footage, plus 10.5 hours testing and interviewing Clancy and 1.5 hours in collateral interviews. He testifie

Redirect testimony from Dr. Avram Mack turned into a battle over diagnostic fine print Monday in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her defense is built on a claim of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication led by attorney Kevin Reddington. After Reddington spent his cross picking at Mack's credentials and motives, prosecutors used redirect to reframe the whole diagnostic argument. They had Mack explain that while postpartum psychosis isn't its own DSM diagnosis, "postpartum onset" is a recognized specifier that can attach to conditions like bipolar disorder and depression — meaning the clinical reality the defense is describing has a home in

Monday's session in the Lindsay Clancy trial belonged to the defense, as attorney Kevin Reddington took apart prosecution rebuttal witness Dr. Avram Mack piece by piece. Clancy, the 34-year-old Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her defense rests on an insanity argument built around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Reddington's cross covered a lot of ground fast. He brought up past cases where Mack was found not credentialed enough to testify, then asked about money — Mack said expert testimony nets him several hundred thousand dollars a year. Reddington had him define confirmatory bias, then asked if he'd exhibited it evaluating Clancy; Mack said no. Mack testified his own evalua

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial hit a rough patch Monday for the prosecution, as its own rebuttal witness, psychiatrist Dr. Avram Mack, spent hours under cross-examination from defense attorney Kevin Reddington. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorneys are pursuing an insanity defense centered on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Reddington didn't ease in. He started with prior cases where courts had ruled Mack unqualified to testify, then moved to money — Mack testified he pulls in several hundred thousand dollars a year doing expert witness work. Asked to define confirmatory bias and then asked point-blank if he'd shown it evaluating Clancy, Mack said no. He

Lindsay Clancy sat through fourteen telehealth sessions with her psychiatrist in the weeks before her three children died in their Duxbury home, and that doctor told the jury she never appeared psychotic. Then came the hospital chaplain — the person who has spent more hours with Clancy than nearly anyone alive, roughly two hundred visits across three years at Tewksbury Hospital. She testified that Clancy described a male voice commanding her to kill her children and then herself, or none of them would be safe. On cross-examination, the prosecutor got her to admit something the defense didn't want said out loud: in two hundred visits, she never wrote that voice down. That gap now sits at the center of the Lindsay Clancy murder trial. Once an insanity defense is raised under Massachusetts law, the burden shifts — prosecutors must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Clancy was criminally responsible when she used exercise bands on her three children. To carry that burden, the state needs jurors to conclude the chaplain either missed the most important thing Clancy ever told her, or that Clancy invented it after she survived her own suicide attempt. Phone forensics don't make the answer easier — Clancy had searched "symptoms of postpartum psychosis," timed her husband's errand, and ordered the takeout that cleared him out of the house. The defense calls it a woman failed by a medical system that kept adjusting her prescriptions without hearing her. The prosecution calls it premeditation with a convenient excuse attached. Tony Brueski lays out both sides of a case that keeps getting harder to call, with closing arguments expected the week of August 24.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Dr. Kirk Heilbrun, a forensic psychologist called by the prosecution, took the stand today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney Kevin Reddington is building an insanity defense around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. Heilbrun evaluated Clancy three years after the killings, and testified she tended to underreport or minimize her own symptoms — which, coming from a rebuttal witness, is not a throwaway line. He didn't dispute that her suicide attempt was serious; he said the opposite, noting she remains on one-to-one suicide precautions at Tewksbury and is still considered at risk. What he disputed is the cause of the children's deat
In January 2023, 36-year-old labor and delivery nurse Lindsay Clancy strangled her three young children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan, in the basement of their Duxbury, Massachusetts home before attempting to take her own life. While her defense team contends she was suffering from severe postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder, prosecutors argue her actions were planned and intentional. In episode one of our special mini-series tracking the trial, we return to the beginning of the Clancy family's story. Featuring harrowing court testimony from Lindsay's husband, Patrick Clancy, we unpack the family's life leading up to January 24, her rapidly declining mental health, and the devastating timeline of the day that shattered their lives forever.

Fourteen telehealth sessions. Two hundred hospital visits. Neither person who spent the most time with Lindsay Clancy before or after her three children died in their Duxbury home ever documented the thing her defense now says explains everything. Her psychiatrist testified Clancy never looked psychotic across all fourteen sessions. Her hospital chaplain, who has sat with her roughly two hundred times over three years at Tewksbury Hospital, testified that Clancy described a male voice ordering her to kill her children and then herself. Then the prosecutor asked for the chaplain's notes — and that voice wasn't in a single one of them. This is where the Lindsay Clancy trial actually turns. Massachusetts law puts the burden on prosecutors once an insanity defense is on the table: they have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Clancy was criminally responsible when she killed her children with exercise bands. That means the state needs the jury to believe the chaplain missed the most consequential disclosure of her career, or that Clancy constructed the voice sometime after she survived her own fall. Phone records don't help settle it — Clancy had searched "symptoms of postpartum psychosis," mapped her husband's errand, and ordered the takeout that got him out of the house before it happened. The defense argues a medical system kept switching her medications without ever really listening. The prosecution argues the searches and the timing tell you everything you need to know about intent. Tony Brueski walks through what twelve jurors now have to decide, with closing arguments expected the week of August 24 — and no clean answer waiting on the other side of it.

Lindsay Clancy's murder trial has an unusual feature: everyone in the courtroom agrees on the facts. Her own defense attorney told the jury she killed her three children. Prosecutors agree. Patrick Clancy testified about what he found in their Duxbury home. The surveillance footage, the phone records, the 911 call all line up. And yet a massive online audience insists the real story is something else. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Nightbird, talks with Tony Brueski in a two-part conversation about what's driving people to reject a case that both sides have already settled. She explains why a tragedy of this scale creates demand for a villain bigger than a mother in psychosis — and why disproving a theory, point by point, tends to make it spread faster instead of dying out. Then she turns to the people posting the theories themselves, who describe real symptoms: shaking hands, lost sleep, rage over a family they've never met. Scott explains how the case functions as a container for something that has nothing to do with Duxbury — and what that's costing the people it's pointed at. Patrick Clancy, who buried three children and testified about finding them, is now getting death threats for a version of events neither the prosecution nor the defense has ever argued. Scott closes on what it would take to bring someone back from a conclusion they've already decided is true.

Nobody disputes what happened to Lindsay Clancy's three children. Not the prosecution. Not her own defense attorney, who told the jury in opening statements that she did it. Patrick Clancy testified about finding Cora, Dawson, and Callan in their Duxbury home. Surveillance footage, phone records, and the 911 call all corroborate the same account. And still, a massive online audience has decided the entire case is a cover-up. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Nightbird, joins Tony Brueski for a two-part conversation on why agreement from both sides of a courtroom isn't enough to satisfy people who've already made up their minds. She breaks down why a tragedy this size creates a psychological need for a villain worse than a mother suffering catastrophic psychosis — and why every fact introduced to correct the record just adds fuel instead of putting it out. Then the conversation turns to the people doing the posting themselves. They report real physical symptoms — shaking hands, sleepless nights, rage over strangers they will never meet. Scott explains how the case has become an outlet for something that has nothing to do with Duxbury, and what it's costing the people it's aimed at. Patrick Clancy is now receiving death threats over a version of events even Lindsay's own lawyer has never argued. Scott closes with what she'd say to someone who is completely certain of a story the evidence doesn't support.

The Clancy defense rests after five days and ten witnesses. The prosecution's rebuttal opens with a psychiatrist who says depression is not psychosis. And in Texas, a retired judge has until Monday to decide whether Karmelo Anthony's murder conviction still exists.First: where the Lindsay Clancy trial actually stands after Day 18, and every verdict legally on the table in Massachusetts. First degree, second degree, manslaughter, lack of criminal responsibility, hung jury. What each one actually means, why a finding of not criminally responsible does not mean she walks out the door, and the single word in the jury instruction that decides all of it.Then: the Karmelo Anthony retrial hearing in Collin County. Judge John Roach lost the case by going on television. The original murder trial was held in a room with twenty-seven public seats and no livestream, which the court administrator admitted this week was available the entire time. And the unwritten "gentleman's agreement" between prosecutors and the defense collapsed mid-trial over whether Anthony could take the stand, which is why the jury never heard from him.Both sides then opened the sealed background files on Austin Metcalf and Karmelo Anthony in open court. We cover both, and what each one legally would and would not have been allowed to prove.Content advisory: this episode covers the killing of three children and the killing of a seventeen-year-old. Part one includes what Clancy told her children during the killings, testified to publicly for the first time this week.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-unfiltered-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilRobin's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/robin_wstdTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.TikTok: tiktok.com/@wesawthedevilpolitics
Something happened in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial that's harder to process than the crime itself. Jurors cried as the medical examiner walked through injuries consistent with asphyxia in two of Clancy's three children. Clancy broke down sobbing at the defense table. The judge called multiple recesses. Her defense attorney, who spent three brutal hours cross-examining her psychiatrist days before, didn't ask the medical examiner a single follow-up.But it's what her husband said that's dominating conversation around this trial. Patrick Clancy took the stand and described the final morning his three children were alive — and his choice of words has people arguing.Clancy has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, at the family's Duxbury home. Her defense is built on undiagnosed postpartum psychosis, supported by a medication history that reads like a system failure: thirteen psychiatric prescriptions across five prescribers in four months, none of them coordinating care, a hospital that allegedly declined to treat her, a nurse practitioner who called her symptoms "quite common." Journal entries entered into the trial record document her unraveling in her own words, days before everything changed.Bob Motta watched all of it unfold ten feet from Clancy. This episode covers the testimony, the paper trail the medical system left behind, and the one line from her husband that's proving impossible to square with everything else in this case.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

There's a moment in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial that's harder to sit with than the autopsy testimony — and that's saying something. Jurors wept when the medical examiner described injuries consistent with asphyxia in two of Clancy's three children. Clancy sobbed at the defense table and said she couldn't go through it. The judge called multiple recesses. Her attorney, who'd torn into her psychiatrist for three straight hours days before, sat silent through the medical examiner's testimony.But it's her husband's words that this episode keeps circling back to.

Her journal entries, read into the trial record, chart a woman losing her grip on her own mind days before it happened.Bob Motta was in that courtroom watching the jury process all of it in real time.

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial reached a point this week that even seasoned court-watchers weren't ready for. Two jurors cried as the medical examiner testified to injuries consistent with asphyxia in two of Clancy's children. Clancy sobbed openly at the defense table, telling the courtroom she couldn't get through it. The judge called multiple recesses to let the room reset. Her own defense attorney, fresh off three hours of aggressive cross-examination of her psychiatrist, asked the medical examiner nothing at all.And then her husband spoke. Patrick Clancy described the last morning his three children were alive in a way that's split public opinion right down the middle.Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, at their Duxbury home. Her defense argues undiagnosed postpartum psychosis, layered under a medication history that's genuinely staggering: thirteen psychiatric prescriptions from five different providers in four months, none of them talking to each other, a specialty hospital that allegedly refused to treat her, and journal entries — now part of the trial record — that read like a woman watching herself vanish in real time.Bob Motta was ten feet from Clancy in that courtroom, watching jurors weigh grief against calculation. This episode breaks down the testimony, the medical paper trail behind it, and the single sentence from a husband that's proving impossible to explain away.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Day 17 was the shortest day of the Lindsay Clancy trial and possibly the day that decides it.One witness. Sheila Cavanaugh, a board-certified chaplain at Brigham and Women's Hospital who has visited Lindsay Clancy roughly 200 times since her three children were killed. She was there the day after. She was there when they pulled the breathing tube out on January 31, 2023, and Clancy's first words were that she was glad her children were safe. And she was there when Clancy described a persistent male voice that told her if she did not follow the command, neither she nor her children would be safe.That date matters. The Commonwealth's timeline says the first report of voices came on February 6. The chaplain just moved it up six days, and the defense now has two sources placing the voice earlier than the prosecution's story allows.Then Jennifer Sprague got up and ran the sharpest cross of the week: you wrote down everything else, so why is the voice not in your notes?Outside, about 300 women in pink stood silent on the courthouse lawn in a demonstration called Stand in Peace, organized by a woman who drove down from Maine. Shirts that said "She Needed Help." Applause for a defense attorney.And after the jury went home before lunch, the lawyers stayed and had the most consequential argument of the entire trial: what instructions the jury gets. Involuntary intoxication, in or out. Involuntary manslaughter as a lesser charge, in or out. First degree, second degree, or both. Those three answers determine the shape of every possible verdict in this case, and not one juror was in the room to hear it.Plus: why Judge Sullivan pulled every juror aside individually for the first time in 17 days, what Dr. Phillip Resnick's filicide research has to do with Friday's testimony, why the Commonwealth stacking three rebuttal experts tells you something, and a Reality Check on what happens when a murder trial becomes a movement.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-unfiltered-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilRobin's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/robin_wstdTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.TikTok: tiktok.com/@wesawthedevilpolitics
The defense's biggest witness took the stand today — and then the defense rested. Dr. Phillip Resnick, a forensic psychiatrist who specializes in filicide, the rare and specific category of a parent killing their own child, testified by Zoom in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children, 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan, with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her defense, led by attorney Kevin Reddington, centers on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Resnick spent over three and a half hours evaluating Clancy in person about four months after the crime, plus another hour and a half with her parents. He said she was blunted and matter-of-fact while heavily medicated — and, notably, he pointed out the prosecution's own doctors didn't get to her until three years after the fact. No one, Resnick testified, found evidence she was lying or exaggerating; if anything, she minimized what she'd been through. His diagnosis: Bipolar II with severe depression, postpartum symptoms that got worse with each child, and on the day of the crime, postpartum psychosis — command hallucinations, a dreamlike disconnection from her own body. His bottom line: she couldn't conform her conduct to the law. She believed, he said, that she was doing right by her kids. On cross, prosecutors leaned hard on how statistically rare this is. Then the defense rested its case.Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out of the home running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial, underway in Plymouth Superior Court, is expected to last several weeks.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Dr. Avram Mack, a psychiatrist testifying for the prosecution, returned to the stand Friday afternoon in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is mounting an insanity defense built on claims of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Mack told the jury that Clancy described hearing a command voice tell her this was her "last chance" — that she needed to kill her kids before she could kill herself. In Mack's opinion, Clancy was suffering from major depressive disorder, which he classified as a Mental Disease or Defect. But he drew a hard line there: he says she still knew right from wrong, and still bore criminal responsibility.Cross-examination got interesting. Mack admitted the DA's office is paying him, that Park Dietz & Associates brought him onto the case, and that he'd met with Clancy alongside another forensic psychiatrist from that same firm — though he wouldn't discuss "the contact" between them. He also claimed Clancy had a "lifelong history" of resisting medication, then had to concede under questioning that this detail isn't actually in his notes. What is in his notes: she didn't want to take medication because she was breastfeeding. That's a meaningful gap between what he said on direct and what he can actually back up.The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The murder trial of Lindsay Clancy is underway in Plymouth Superior Court, and the diagnoses on the table just multiplied. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is charged with killing her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — allegedly strangling them with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She then allegedly tried to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, an injury that left her paralyzed from the waist down. She's pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. Her defense, led by Kevin Reddington, rests on an insanity claim built around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.The prosecution's rebuttal witness had a different diagnosis in mind entirely. Dr. Avram Mack, a psychiatrist who reviewed Clancy's medical records and evaluated her in April 2026, told jurors that assessing someone's mental state requires looking at who they were at the time of the act itself. He described a patient who showed no interest in her hygiene, the hospital's food, or the other patients around her — though she did have visitors on occasion. Mack noted she's taking numerous psychiatric medications, all at low doses.His diagnosis: a major depressive episode within major depressive disorder. Not bipolar disorder — he testified he saw nothing in her records pointing to mania or hypomania. And notably, not postpartum psychosis either, which is the diagnosis the defense has built its entire case around.Patrick Clancy, her husband, was running errands when the killings happened and has since moved to Manhattan. The trial is expected to continue for several more weeks.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial resumed Friday with Dr. Avram Mack, a psychiatrist called by the prosecution, continuing his rebuttal testimony after the lunch break. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and attorney Kevin Reddington is arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Mack testified that Clancy told him she heard a command voice tell her this was her "last chance" — that she had to kill her children before killing herself. He diagnosed her with major depressive disorder, which he agreed qualifies as a Mental Disease or Defect. His conclusion, though, was that she retained the capacity to know her actions were wrong, and therefore retained criminal responsibility.Reddington used cross-examination to chip away at Mack's credibility. Mack confirmed he's being compensated by the district attorney's office, that Park Dietz & Associates brought him in, and that he'd met with Clancy alongside a second forensic psychiatrist from that same firm — declining, notably, to discuss "the contact" between the two of them. He also testified Clancy had a "lifelong history" of medication resistance, then acknowledged that claim isn't documented anywhere in his own notes.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Fourteen telehealth sessions. Four months of treatment. A last appointment the day before three children died in a Duxbury home. Lindsay Clancy's psychiatrist told the jury she never appeared psychotic. Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke dig into the listener questions this audience cannot stop arguing about. The prosecution says Clancy was lucid enough to plan an errand run, search Apple Maps, and time everything around her husband's absence. The defense says the medical system pumped her full of prescriptions and missed the crisis building inside her. After fourteen days of testimony, the prosecution has rested. The defense is calling witnesses who describe a mother begging doctors to hear her. Patrick Clancy testified over two days, told the jury he never saw her harm the children, and publicly forgave her. He is suing her medical providers. The jury has walked through the house on Summer Street and heard the 911 call where he screamed that she killed their children. Every fact in this trial serves both sides, and the listener questions in this episode land on the fractures the jury has to resolve.END_LINKSListen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Dr. Phillip Resnick, a forensic psychiatrist and one of the country's leading experts on filicide — cases where a parent kills their own children — testified via Zoom today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children, 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan, with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her defense, led by attorney Kevin Reddington, is arguing severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Resnick evaluated Clancy in person about four months after the killings — over three and a half hours with her, another hour and a half with her parents. He described her as heavily medicated, matter-of-fact, blunted. Worth noting: the prosecution's own doctors didn't examine her until three years after the crime. Resnick, like the other evaluators, found no evidence she was faking or minimizing for sympathy — if anything, she downplayed her own symptoms. His diagnosis: Bipolar II with severe depression, postpartum anxiety that worsened with each pregnancy, and on the day of the killings, full postpartum psychosis — command hallucinations, a sense that her own body wasn't hers to control. His conclusion was blunt: she was unable to conform her conduct to the requirements of the law. Prosecutors pushed back hard on cross, leaning on how rare this kind of filicide actually is. After Resnick stepped down, the defense rested.Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down.

Lindsay Clancy, the 34-year-old Duxbury, Massachusetts mother charged with murdering her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — is standing trial in Plymouth Superior Court. Prosecutors allege she strangled the children with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, then attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. She's pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington is arguing insanity — severe postpartum psychosis compounded by psychiatric overmedication.Today the prosecution called in a rebuttal witness with a very different read. Dr. Avram Mack, a psychiatrist who reviewed Clancy's records and met with her in April 2026, testified that evaluating someone's mental state means looking at who they were at the moment of the act — not building a narrative around it. He described a woman uninterested in her own hygiene, indifferent to hospital food, and largely withdrawn from other patients, though she did accept visitors at times. He noted she's on numerous psychiatric medications, but at low doses.Mack's conclusion cuts against the defense's central theory on two fronts. He believes Clancy experienced a major depressive episode as part of major depressive disorder — not postpartum psychosis, and not bipolar disorder, since he says he found no evidence of mania or hypomania anywhere in her records.Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands when it happened and has since relocated to Manhattan.

The Lindsay Clancy trial stopped today and nobody will say why. Judge William Sullivan sent the jury home mid-afternoon citing an "unforeseen circumstance," told them not to speculate about it, and offered no further explanation. There was also an unexplained delay starting the morning. Two stoppages in one day, and no outlet has reported the cause.This episode covers three days of testimony in Plymouth Superior Court: Days 14, 15, and 16 of the trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts labor and delivery nurse charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of her three children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan.Monday, the prosecution rested after 72 witnesses over 13 days. Tuesday, the defense brought its medical case. And today, forensic psychologist Dr. Paul Zeizel delivered the sentence Kevin Reddington has been building toward for four weeks: that Lindsay Clancy had a mental disease, was unable to conform her behavior to the rule of law, and had no appreciation for the wrongfulness of her act. That is the Massachusetts standard for not criminally responsible, recited almost word for word.Also covered: the Andrea Yates testimony nobody is reporting on, the prosecution asking a grandmother whether she knew murder is a mortal sin, a defense witness found on TikTok by a private investigator, McLean Hospital's staffing records entering evidence, and the suicide hotline that Lindsay Clancy called twice in December.Plus a full Reality Check on Patrick Clancy. He is not a suspect and never has been, but the trial record contains a different indictment.

Comment sections across every platform covering the Lindsay Clancy trial contain people describing the same thing. They can't sleep. Their hands shake when they read the updates. They're posting at two in the morning with genuine fury about a family in Duxbury, Massachusetts, they have never met.Both sides in the trial agree Lindsay killed Cora, Dawson, and Callan. Her defense attorney conceded it. The prosecution built its case around it. The only question before the jury is criminal responsibility. None of that has stopped TikTok creators from accusing Patrick Clancy of being the real killer, comparing him to Chris Watts, and building theories around body temperature data and Apple Watch readings that have been addressed in testimony.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott has spent thirty years studying what happens when a brain encounters information it can't accept. She joins Tony Brueski to explain why the people in those comment sections aren't performing — their bodies are responding to this trial the way they'd respond to a genuine threat. She covers the difference between analysis and fortress-building, why evidence makes the conspiracy stronger instead of weaker, and what it means when a case refuses to give you a villain.This is Part 1 of three conversations with Shavaun on the psychology of the culture war over Lindsay Clancy.Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Nightbird, discuss why the Lindsay Clancy trial is producing a measurable psychological response in the people watching.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A hospital chaplain just handed the Lindsay Clancy trial one of its more complicated moments. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is charged with strangling her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She's pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, and attorney Kevin Reddington is running an insanity defense centered on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Shelia Cavanaugh, a chaplain at Brigham and Women's Hospital, testified she first met with Clancy on January 25, the morning after, while Clancy was intubated and boxed in by police and security guards. By January 31, Cavanaugh said, Clancy had a flat, neutral affect but told her, hands held, "I'm so glad my children are safe" — and then described a male voice that allegedly kept telling her the children would never be safe unless she killed them and herself. Cavanaugh continued weekly visits after Clancy's transfer to Tewksbury State Hospital, saying the grief over her children has stayed constant. But on cross-examination, prosecutors pressed the gap: Cavanaugh's own notes from Brigham never mention "hearing voices," despite documenting Clancy's outlook on physical recovery and other feelings in detail. On redirect, Cavanaugh pointed out she's not a clinician and that chaplain conversations are confidential — which is its own kind of answer.Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window afterward and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Husband Patrick Clancy, who was out running errands during the killings, has since relocated to Manhattan.

Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is building an insanity defense around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Today it was Shelia Cavanaugh, a chaplain at Brigham and Women's Hospital, on the stand. Cavanaugh testified she first met with Clancy the morning after the killings, January 25, while Clancy was still intubated and surrounded by police and security. A week later, holding Clancy's hands, she heard her say, "I'm so glad my children are safe" — then, later in that same conversation, describe a male voice that had allegedly told her the children would never be safe unless she killed them and herself. Cavanaugh kept visiting weekly after Clancy's transfer to Tewksbury State Hospital, and says the grief hasn't faded. On cross, prosecutors got her to admit she never wrote a word about "hearing voices" in her Brigham notes — even though she documented plenty else, including Clancy's hopes for physical recovery.Clancy allegedly attempted suicide after the killings by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down.

Lindsay Clancy has been turned into a symbol. For one side she's proof that mothers are dangerous and deserve the harshest punishment available. For the other she's proof that the medical system destroys women and that the real villain is the husband who moved on. Neither side is talking about a labor and delivery nurse from Duxbury who was prescribed thirteen medications by providers who allegedly never coordinated — a woman who got sick and lost everything.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Nightbird, joins Tony Brueski for the final part of their three-part conversation on the psychology of the culture war surrounding the Lindsay Clancy trial. This segment turns the mirror on the audience.Shavaun explains what happens when a real person gets replaced by an idea — when the woman in the wheelchair at the defense table stops being Lindsay and becomes everybody's argument. She covers the line where case engagement becomes something worth clinical attention. She identifies the specific mechanism driving the two-in-the-morning posters — rage that belongs elsewhere in their lives channeled into a target that feels morally justified.She closes on two questions. Whether someone locked into a conspiracy belief can actually reverse it. And what she would say to a listener sitting across from her who is certain Patrick Clancy killed those children.Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott discuss what happens when the audience becomes the story.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In a trial that has captured the attention of the nation, Lindsay Clancy, 36, faces three counts of first-degree murder in connection with the deaths of her children: Cora, Dawson and Callan, all younger than 6-years-old, who were discovered strangled at the family's Duxbury, Massachusetts home in 2023. The prosecution rested its case earlier this week, and now the defense team has begun presenting their own, saying she was experiencing postpartum psychosis at the time of the murders. FOX's Gurnal Scott speaks with Joshua Ritter, Criminal Defense Attorney and Fox News Contributor, from outside Plymouth Superior Court, Plymouth, MA, who says the crime itself is not in question but the prosecution has struggled to paint her as a 'monster' which has garnered her some sympathy.

Lindsay Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation in the January 24, 2023, deaths of her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — allegedly strangled with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home. She's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is arguing insanity, pointing to postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.If Wednesday morning belonged to the defense, the afternoon belonged to the prosecution — and they came in swinging at the credibility of Dr. Paul Zeizel, the defense's clinical psychologist. The cross started with his resume, with prosecutors pressing on whether his past evaluations were done for the Commonwealth or for defense teams, then landing on a number designed to stick: roughly $300,000 a year in fees for his consulting work. From there it got more specific. Zeizel testified that when he first met with Clancy, he let her use his phone to call her husband — and that when she made that call, she didn't ask about her children. The prosecution also zeroed in on the voices Clancy reportedly heard, which she allegedly described to family, to Patrick, and to a hospital chaplain, but apparently never mentioned to any of her actual treating psychological professionals. And then came the hospital records — notes from Tewksbury pulled from the anniversaries that would gut anyone: her kids' birthdays, the date of the killings. Pleasant. Participating in activities. Taking her medication. No self-injurious behavior. Make of that what you will. The prosecution closed by accusing Zeizel of bias, pointedly referring to Clancy as "his patient."Patrick Clancy was out running errands when it happened and now lives in Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, 34, continued this week in Plymouth Superior Court, where the Duxbury mother faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation in the January 24, 2023, deaths of her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — inside the family's Summer Street home. Prosecutors allege she used exercise resistance bands. Clancy has pleaded not guilty, and defense attorney Kevin Reddington is arguing insanity, pointing to severe postpartum psychosis compounded by psychiatric overmedication.Wednesday belonged to the defense's clinical psychologist, Dr. Paul Zeizel, continuing testimony he began earlier in the week. His account painted a picture of a woman drowning in intrusive thoughts — thoughts she believed others could somehow hear, thoughts that convinced her she'd lose her children if anyone found out. She reached out for help twice in December, calling a suicide hotline, and was told she didn't meet the standard for intervention because she didn't have a specific plan. Zeizel's testimony framed intrusive thoughts as relentless — not something that fades with a good night's sleep — and said that by January, Clancy's had turned toward telling her to end her own life. He also addressed something juries often get wrong about mental illness: that functioning normally on the outside doesn't rule out psychosis on the inside. His testing, he said, ruled out psychopathy entirely, but turned up bipolar disorder with postpartum psychosis, and in his opinion, no awareness at the time that what she was doing was wrong.Patrick Clancy, her husband, was running errands when it happened and now lives in Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to stretch several weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
