Lindsay Clancy Knew THIS Better Than Anyone

Lindsay Clancy case coverage — she understood one thing better than almost any defendant who has ever sat in a courtroom like this, and both sides want to use it.

Her profession put her inside the delivery room for a living. She knew the screening questions. She knew the warning signs. She knew what a patient has to say to be taken seriously and what gets waved off. Prosecutors intend to argue that knowledge is proof she was in control. Her lawyers intend to argue it proves the failure was never hers.

Tony Brueski and criminal defense trial attorney Bob Motta, host of Defense Diaries, cover this case end to end across three segments.

The first works through the Commonwealth's evidence, including the note prosecutors say she left on her phone about her older children and the timeline they say shows she measured her husband's errand. The second breaks down the defense after a judge barred women who have experienced postpartum psychosis from testifying, leaving expert witnesses to carry the entire concept. The third is the hardest one — what justice means when a not criminally responsible verdict leads to a locked hospital and a conviction leads to mandatory life with no judicial discretion of any kind.

Somewhere in the middle of all of it is a mental health system that received every warning available. She told her husband she was having thoughts of hurting her kids. She admitted herself to a psychiatric hospital. Nineteen days after her discharge, all three of her children were gone.

Cora was five. Dawson was three. Callan was eight months old.
