Watch Live: Lindsay Clancy trial resumes with prosecution psychologist calling her "criminally responsible"

CBS News general

Key Points:

  • The murder trial of Lindsay Clancy resumed in Massachusetts with forensic psychologist Dr. Kirk Heilbrun testifying for the prosecution, stating Clancy was criminally responsible for killing her three children despite her claims of responding to a voice.
  • Defense attorney Kevin Reddington cross-examined Heilbrun, challenging the timing of his interviews and the relevance of Clancy's psychiatric history, while also highlighting Clancy's capabilities as a mother prior to medication.
  • A mistrial request was denied after Heilbrun mentioned Clancy's Catholic faith, with the judge instructing the jury to disregard those remarks as irrelevant.
  • Clancy, who has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder, admits to the killings but claims she was not criminally responsible due to postpartum psychosis and overmedication; a conviction could lead to life imprisonment without parole or commitment to a psychiatric hospital.
  • Closing arguments could begin as early as Wednesday, with one more prosecution rebuttal witness expected before trial proceedings continue.
