Watch Live: Lindsay Clancy trial resumes with cross-examination of psychiatrist Jennifer Tufts

CBS News general

Key Points:

  • Lindsay Clancy's psychiatrist, Dr. Jennifer Tufts, resumed testimony as the Massachusetts trial for the alleged murder of Clancy's three children entered its 10th day, with live coverage available on CBS News Boston and YouTube.
  • Clancy's defense argues she was overmedicated and suffering from extreme postpartum psychosis at the time of the killings, while prosecutors contend she was aware of her actions and staged a suicide attempt afterward.
  • Dr. Tufts testified about Clancy's worsening mental state during treatment, noting symptoms like insomnia, anxiety, and fear of suicidal thoughts, and acknowledged Clancy's reluctance and fear of medication side effects, including Zoloft.
  • During cross-examination, defense attorney Kevin Reddington challenged Tufts on her expertise in postpartum psychiatry and her prescribing decisions, but Tufts maintained she did not believe Clancy was psychotic and described her as "just depressed."
  • If convicted, Clancy faces life imprisonment without parole; however, a verdict of not criminally responsible would result in her commitment to a mental health facility.
