Lindsay Clancy Trial: Records Say One Thing, the Nurse Practitioner Says Another

The murder trial of Lindsay Clancy took a sharp turn today when psychiatric nurse practitioner Rebecca Jollotta, certified by Postpartum Support International, testified about a phone call that — according to her — never happened. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and is mounting an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication, led by attorney Kevin Reddington.

Jollotta told the court she saw Clancy just three times and eventually referred her to a program at Women & Infants Hospital. What happened after that, she said, she couldn't say — she never found out how the hospital assessed Clancy or why she wasn't admitted. That's where Reddington zeroed in, asking whether Jollotta knew the rejection stemmed from excessive medication, then reading a Women & Infants record stating the hospital had reached out to her and gotten no response. Jollotta flatly disputed that — she said she never spoke to Women & Infants, period. She also pushed back on any suggestion Clancy was chasing prescriptions, testifying she was trying to get off medication, not accumulate it, and noted she's personally treated five patients with postpartum psychosis, where hearing voices and visual hallucinations are documented symptoms.

Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial, underway in Plymouth Superior Court, is expected to last several weeks.
