Watch Live: Patrick Clancy's mother takes stand in trial
Lindsay Clancy's murder trial resumed Tuesday in Massachusetts with the 15th day of testimony.
On the 15th day of testimony in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial in Massachusetts, the court resumed on Tuesday. The prosecution had previously called 72 witnesses, while the defense is set to present more witnesses. Lindsay Clancy's mother, Paula Musgrove, testified first for the defense. Her ex-mother-in-law, Susan Clancy, described their relationship as very good, with Susan being a nurturing and loving person who deeply cared for her children.
Susan Clancy, a nurse, noticed Lindsay's struggles with insomnia and anxiety and reached out to a postpartum mother's program for assistance. She testified that Lindsay was begging for help and expressing confusion about her medication situation. The defense attorney, Kevin Reddington, argued that Lindsay should not be held criminally responsible due to her overmedication and postpartum psychosis.
The trial's outcome will determine whether Lindsay Clancy faces life in prison without parole or is sent to a state psychiatric hospital.
