Lindsay Clancy's former mother-in-law says she was "begging for help" as murder trial continues
Lindsay Clancy's former mother-in-law, Susan Clancy, took the stand Tuesday to offer testimony as Lindsay Clancy stands on trial for the killings of her three children. CBS News' Shanelle Kaul has more.
Tuesday's hearing in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial featured dramatic and consequential testimony, focusing on forensic evidence, Clancy's mental state, and new scrutiny of her care before her children's deaths. A clinical psychologist provided detailed testimony about Clancy's auditory hallucinations, including a male voice ordering her to kill herself and her children.
Forensic pathologist Elizabeth Laposata described a head-first fall from a second-story window, which prosecutors argued resulted in severe spinal damage, despite Clancy showing no external head injuries. Clancy had repeatedly been turned away from crisis resources, such as suicide hotlines and a postpartum program, deepening the defense's claim she was desperately seeking help as her condition deteriorated.
