Watch Live: Lindsay Clancy trial testimony ends, closing arguments set for Thursday
CBS News • • general
Key Points:
- Testimony in Lindsay Clancy's Massachusetts murder trial concluded after 85 witnesses were heard, with prosecutors resting Wednesday afternoon and closing arguments expected Thursday.
- Dr. Gregory Saathoff, a forensic psychiatrist and emergency medicine professor, was the final witness, testifying that Clancy was criminally responsible for the murders despite some side effects from medication and inconsistencies in her story.
- Defense attorney Kevin Reddington challenged Saathoff’s credibility and questioned his expertise on postpartum depression, emphasizing Clancy's reported dark thoughts and the timing of Saathoff's interview with Clancy years after the incident.
- Prosecutors argue Clancy planned the murders and was not psychotic, while the defense claims she was overmedicated and suffering from postpartum psychosis; if convicted, Clancy faces life without parole, but a verdict of not criminally responsible would result in psychiatric hospitalization.
