Dr. Avram Mack, a forensic psychiatrist providing testimony for the prosecution, informed the jury about the unfortunate circumstances surrounding Lindsay Clancy’s time at the hospital where she is presently detained.
Dr. Avram Mack stated that he endeavors to conduct an independent review of cases, regardless of whether he is serving as an expert for the defense or the prosecution. He examined medical records, as well as outpatient and inpatient records from before and after the murders, in addition to criminal files, he testified. She recounted her typical day at Tewksbury Hospital, saying that she mostly remained in bed or spent time alone, he explained. She did not engage with other patients, Mack noted. Occasionally, she was able to visit with family members and spiritual figures, such as a chaplain or priest, he added. He also mentioned that she had an anxiety disorder.
He assessed Clancy on April 10 and April 11, 2026, at Tewksbury Hospital.
The psychiatrist elaborated, stating, “Showering is embarrassing,” and mentioned that she required assistance to shower due to her paraplegic condition.
However, he did not think she experienced psychosis or a manic or hypomanic episode before the tragic events.
