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. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.

Patrick Clancy remarried in April 2026 — Dr. Rachel Danis, a move to New York, a new life. That single fact became proof of guilt for both sides of the Lindsay Clancy divide. The men say a real father wouldn't move on. The women say a fast remarriage proves he never loved Lindsay. Neither interpretation comes from evidence. Both come from expectation.
Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to explain why grief that doesn't look right to strangers automatically becomes suspicious — and what that reveals about the people judging it rather than the person living it.
This conversation covers the full gender split driving the most divided trial in the country. Men on X are demanding punishment without engaging with the psychosis defense, the medication history, or any of the testimony. Women on Threads and Instagram have constructed an alternate reality in which Patrick is a narcissist who drove Lindsay insane. Both sides agree on one thing — they're the reasonable ones.
Shavaun identifies what each side is actually fighting about. A significant number of the women defending Lindsay are narcissistic-abuse survivors who've mapped their own experience onto Patrick. The men want a target for rage that has nothing to do with Cora, Dawson, or Callan. Both are performing justice. Neither is pursuing it.
Part 2 of three with Shavaun Scott on the psychology of the Lindsay Clancy culture war.
Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Nightbird, discuss why the fight over Lindsay Clancy has nothing to do with Lindsay Clancy.

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.

The jury in the Jared Bridegan murder trial watched a fifty-minute police interview with Mario Fernandez Saldana on Tuesday. He called the murdered father a keyboard warrior and speculated about the killing like a man discussing a stranger's misfortune.
The interview was recorded before Fernandez became a suspect. He sat in a chair wearing an orange shirt and talked about Bridegan with casual contempt, the kind that only makes sense if he believed nobody would ever connect him to what happened on that Jacksonville Beach road.
Day 2 in the Duval County courtroom opened with physical evidence from the murder scene. Crime scene detective Shane Jarman played his walkthrough video showing a tire placed in the road to force Bridegan out of his vehicle, shell casings on the pavement, and his body next to his SUV. DNA collected from that tire matched Henry Tenon.
Surveillance footage tracked a blue Ford F-150 through Jacksonville Beach to the exact stretch where Bridegan was killed on February 16, 2022. Twenty seconds separated the truck and Bridegan's SUV in the same camera frame. Eight minutes after the shooting, the truck backed into a dead-end and a figure climbed out on foot.
Defense attorney Jesse Dreicer drove a thirty-two-minute gap in the surveillance where no camera captured the truck. Lead detective Chris Johns answered with a gait comparison matching Tenon's walk to the figure on the murder scene footage.
Business check stubs inside the F-150 showed ten thousand dollars paid to Tenon six weeks after the killing. The memo lines read landscaping, roof upkeep, and Kickstarter Good Luck. The money came from a company funded through the Gardner family trust, the same trust prosecutors say was the motive for murder.
Tenon has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and is expected to testify later in the trial.

The prosecution called more than seventy witnesses over fourteen days in the Lindsay Clancy trial at Plymouth Superior Court. The defense called three the same afternoon the prosecution rested. And on TikTok, a completely different trial is running. Tony Brueski and retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke break down all of it.The prosecution's case began with Patrick Clancy describing Lindsay's best day and ended with a digital forensics expert mapping her Apple Watch data. In between, medical providers admitted they never coordinated care, a 911 call stopped the courtroom, and the defense stipulated to the act — putting everything on Lindsay's mental state.The defense started with Lindsay's mother testifying that her daughter said the medications were destroying her mind. The psychiatric experts are coming next. The jury has to decide whether the providers who treated Lindsay missed postpartum psychosis or whether it was never there.The TikTok trial runs parallel. Creators are comparing Patrick's new wife to Lindsay, building a pushed-from-the-window theory from blood stain testimony, and reinterpreting a command hallucination as Patrick's voice. Dreeke examines all three threads and reads where the jury is after absorbing everything the prosecution put in front of them.
