Lindsay Clancy Says She Heard Voices — Her Doctors Diagnosed Anxiety

Lindsay Clancy's defense says she heard voices on the day her children died. Every clinician who saw her before that day wrote down anxiety and depression. The postpartum psychosis diagnosis came after January 24, 2023, from a forensic psychiatrist working for the defense.

In the months before the killings, Lindsay was prescribed thirteen psychiatric medications. She messaged her nurse practitioner Rebecca Jollotta almost daily asking to change them. She wrote about intrusive thoughts she had never experienced, about brain fog, about wanting help. Patrick Clancy told her doctors they were turning her into a zombie.

Defense attorney Kevin Reddington isn't asking the jury to believe Lindsay didn't do it. He admitted that in his opening statement. He's arguing she wasn't criminally responsible — that postpartum psychosis, combined with a medication cascade no provider controlled, made her incapable of knowing what she was doing. He has spent three weeks dismantling the prosecution's medical witnesses on cross-examination and fighting to add new witnesses the judge initially barred.

Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down the defense's strategy, its strongest testimony so far, and the fundamental challenge at the center of this case: convincing twelve people that a woman who killed her three children was too sick to be held accountable for it.
