Summary
Lindsay Clancy postpartum psychosis defense — the women who could explain it best have been shut out of the courtroom by a judge's order. Kevin Reddington asked to call women who have survived postpartum psychosis so a jury could hear what it does to a person from someone who has actually been inside it. Judge William Sullivan said no. That leaves the defense explaining the most important concept in the case entirely through paid clinicians, in a trial where the Commonwealth is seeking a first-degree murder conviction. The rest of the defense file is documentation. Lindsay Clancy told her husband at the end of December that she was having thoughts of hurting her kids. She admitted herself to a psychiatric hospital on New Year's Eve and was discharged. Nineteen days later, Cora, Dawson, and Callan were dead. Her attorney has said she was prescribed roughly thirteen psychiatric medications over about four months, and both she and her husband are suing the providers who wrote them. Criminal defense trial attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski for an honest look at whether any of this is enough. Can a jury be convinced that planning and psychosis coexist? How much did that ruling actually cost her? And what does a jury do with a father who buried three children and then asked strangers to forgive the person who killed them? There is also the question every person following this case wants answered — whether the woman at the center of it will ever open her mouth in that courtroom. The defense's position is simple. Every institution that could have stopped this had the information and did nothing with it.
