Watch Live: Lindsay Clancy trial resumes with cross-examination of psychologist who met with her after murders
Key Points:
- Lindsay Clancy's trial resumed in Massachusetts with the cross-examination of forensic psychologist Dr. Paul Zeizel, who testified that Clancy heard voices ordering her to kill her children.
- Dr. Zeizel stated Clancy sought mental health treatment for depression and psychotic symptoms before the murders, including intrusive thoughts and voices urging her to kill herself.
- He concluded that Clancy suffered from a mental disease and was unable to understand the wrongfulness of her actions, supporting the defense's argument of postpartum psychosis and overmedication.
- During cross-examination, the prosecution challenged the claim that Clancy described hearing voices before the murders, suggesting inconsistencies in her reported symptoms.
- Clancy has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder but admits to the killings; if found criminally responsible, she faces life without parole, otherwise, she may be committed to a psychiatric hospital.
