Fifth-week testimony ended with prosecution rebuttal witness Dr. Avram Mack under cross-examination after he said Lindsay Clancy was severely depressed but not psychotic when she killed her three children in 2023.
Mack testified he found no evidence of mania or hypomania before the killings, undercutting defense claims that Clancy had bipolar disorder or postpartum psychosis at the time.
His opinion was that Clancy could control her impulses and distinguish right from wrong, even as she suffered a major depressive episode and later told him she urged the children to “go to God.”
Defense lawyer Kevin Reddington rested Friday after calling psychiatric experts to support an insanity defense, and closing arguments are now approaching as the trial moves past its fifth week.
