Lindsay Clancy didn’t have acute psychosis when she killed her 3 children, psychologist says
A prosecution psychologist said Clancy was severely depressed and suicidal, but found no evidence of acute psychosis or command hallucinations.
- On Monday, Judge William Sullivan denied a mistrial request in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, though he reprimanded the prosecution after an expert witness introduced testimony about Clancy's Catholic faith and religious beliefs.
- The trial centers on Clancy's mental state during the January 2023 killings of her three children, with the prosecution calling Dr. Kirk Heilbrun to rebut defense claims of postpartum psychosis.
- During testimony, Heilbrun questioned Clancy about whether suicide was a "mortal sin," describing her statements about going to God as contrary to Catholic beliefs; defense attorney Kevin Reddington moved for a mistrial, alleging "intentional misconduct."
- Sullivan instructed the jury to disregard the "immaterial" and "irrelevant" remarks, telling jurors they must be ignored before dismissing court for the remainder of the day.
- Proceedings will resume Tuesday to complete Heilbrun's testimony, with closing arguments expected later this week as the trial moves toward determining Clancy's criminal responsibility.
