Lindsay Clancy murder trial Day 16: Watch testimony livestream
Zeizel testified that Clancy reported hearing a male voice only on the night she killed her three children, prosecutors said.
- Clinical and forensic psychologist Dr. Paul Zeizel returned to the witness stand on Wednesday, Aug. 19, continuing his testimony regarding Lindsay Clancy's mental state and reported symptoms of psychosis.

- The trial, now in its fourth week, continues with defense witnesses; closing arguments could take place as soon as Monday, Aug. 24, as the defense works through its witness list.
