The defense has rested in the Lindsay Clancy trial and her lawyer, Kevin Reddington, spoke of what might come next. Lindsay Clancy stands accused of killing her three children – Cora, Dawson, and Callan.
The trial has been going on in Massachusetts and has captured the nation’s attention. Her then-husband, Patrick Clancy, came back home after going to a CVS store and then getting takeout, to see Lindsay in the backyard. She had jumped from the second floor window in an attempt to kill herself. Patrick then found the kids in the basement and called emergency services. her lawyers have not denied that Lindsay killed the children While prosecution has argued that Lindsay sent Patrick out so she could allegedly kill the kids. However, they have argued that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and was overly medicated at the time and didn’t realize her actions. prior to resting, prosecution called Dr Avram Mack While defense had called Dr Phillip Resnick . Resnick and other medical professionals had testified that Yates suffered from postpartum psychosis. Meanwhile, Dr Mack contended, when he spoke to Lindsay in April, ‘she described feeling miserable, not wanting to be alive.’
Lindsay is accused of strangling the kids with exercise bands on January 24, 2023. The former was a key witness in the murder trial of Andrea Yates, who in 2001, drowned her five kids in Texas, and in a 2006 retrial, was found not guilty due to insanity.
Reddington said that the Commonwealth might ask for a day off before or after closing arguments, and that the judge had made that an option. He said he wasn’t sure when they would seek the day off. The lawyer further said he hadn’t been watching the jury during the trial laughingly saying he’s ‘afraid’ to look.
Further, Reddington said Lindsay was surprised and emotional about the support she got outside the courthouse on Thursday.
