Lindsay Clancy's Judge Blocked WHAT From Other Moms?!

A judge just decided the jury in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial won't hear from anyone who's actually lived through what her defense says she was living through.
Lindsay Clancy is charged with killing her three children, Cora, five, Dawson, three, and Callan, eight months, in their Duxbury, Massachusetts home in January 2023. She's pleading not guilty by reason of insanity, and her attorneys wanted other mothers who've experienced postpartum psychosis to testify about what that actually looks like from the inside. The judge said no.
Here's what the jury will hear instead: that Lindsay was prescribed at least ten different medications over four months, with eight of them stacked into a single three-week span. That her psychiatric appointments were virtual and sometimes lasted seventeen minutes. That she hospitalized herself three times, called a crisis hotline and was turned away, and told her providers directly that she was having thoughts of harming her children. A hospital assessment ruled out bipolar disorder at the time, an assessment two civil lawsuits now allege was dangerously wrong. A forensic evaluation after the killings diagnosed her with Bipolar Disorder I with psychosis and postpartum onset.
Prosecutors counter with their own version: that Lindsay checked Apple Maps to time a fifty-four-minute window, and that her fitness tracker logged her climbing three flights of stairs right after she sent her husband out. Patrick Clancy, the man who found their children, is on the witness list for her defense, not against her.
Patrick has also filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the healthcare providers he believes let his wife spiral without ever intervening.
Jury selection begins July 20 in Plymouth Superior Court, where two very different pictures of the same woman are about to collide.
