Duck Dynasty Stars Criticize 32 Prescriptions in Lindsay Clancy Case as Jury Deliberates

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Sep 14

Summary

  • Jase Robertson, Al Robertson and Zach Dasher used their podcast to argue the Lindsay Clancy case exposes a mental-health system that turns “spiritual issues” into medical diagnoses.
  • 32 prescriptions for 13 psychiatric drugs in the four months before the killings became a central example, with Dasher saying antidepressants and antipsychotics are overprescribed and should not excuse the deaths.
  • Clancy faces three first-degree murder counts in the deaths of Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months; she admitted strangling them before a suicide attempt that left her paralyzed.
  • Jurors are now deliberating after medical experts clashed over her sanity, while the defense argued postpartum psychosis and overmedication should support an insanity verdict.
  • The podcast hosts still said Clancy should be held accountable and confined, framing the case as a broader debate over criminal responsibility, psychiatric treatment and faith.
