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.

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.

The prosecution called more than seventy witnesses in the Lindsay Clancy trial at Plymouth Superior Court. The defense called three the same afternoon. Tony Brueski and retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke break down whether those numbers mean what they seem to.Paula Musgrove, Lindsay's mother, told the jury about a daughter who texted her saying something was wrong and kept reaching out for months. Musgrove said Lindsay believed the medications were destroying her mind. Lindsay's sister described a decompensation. A former coworker at Massachusetts General called her a dedicated nurse.The prosecution's psychiatrists testified they never saw psychosis. None had treated postpartum psychosis before. The defense experts coming next will likely tell the jury those providers missed what they weren't trained to find. And the jury has to decide which set of doctors to believe about the same woman's mental state.Dreeke examines what jurors are likely carrying after fourteen days of prosecution evidence, whether emotional testimony can be separated from fact, and whether the verdict hinges on evidence or on fear of what acquittal means.

The prosecution called more than seventy witnesses over fourteen days in the Lindsay Clancy trial at Plymouth Superior Court and then rested. Tony Brueski and retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke break down whether the prosecution built what it intended.Patrick Clancy was the first witness. He described Lindsay's best day and the months of intrusive thoughts, thirteen medications, and a wife whose condition he called confusing. The 911 call shattered the courtroom. The defense stipulated to the act and forced the entire trial onto Lindsay's mental state.Then the prosecution called the doctors. Under cross-examination, each one admitted a version of the same failure. They didn't coordinate. They didn't access each other's records. A psychiatrist who wrote twelve of Lindsay's thirty prescriptions treated her entirely over video and had no idea she'd called a suicide hotline twice.Dreeke reads how each prosecution phase likely registered with the jury — the emotional testimony, the forensic timeline, the medical evidence — and whether the prosecution's case may have handed the defense its strongest argument on cross-examination.

A defense evaluation built to protect Bryan Kohberger became the clearest window into how he processes the world. Dr. Rachel Lawson Orr tested Kohberger, interviewed his family, and cataloged behavioral patterns consistent with a lifetime of diagnoses. Those include autism spectrum disorder, OCD, ADHD, ARFID, developmental coordination disorder, depression, anorexia, and opioid use disorder from a heroin addiction he developed as a teenager. Orr documented a man with restricted facial expression, poor social reciprocity, impulsive rule-breaking, and what she called "overall poor" insight. His family confirmed the patterns and told Orr they had been coaching him through social interactions for years without success. Internet forum posts attributed to Kohberger at age sixteen describe the same gap between how he experienced himself and how others experienced him. He wrote about feeling no emotion, acting without remorse, and seeing the world like a video game. He framed his disconnection as making him "smarter." The evaluation puts clinical language to a pattern visible in every public moment since his arrest. A man on rails, cycling through the same fixed positions, unable to see what everyone around him can see.
