Who is Dr. Kelly McDonough? Lindsay Clancy emergency room doctor slammed amid trial; here's what she testified
ER physician Dr. Kelly McDonough was grilled about her treatment of Lindsay Clancy after her suicide attempt.
Dr. Kelly McDonough, an emergency room physician at South Shore Hospital in Weymouth, Massachusetts, became a central figure in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial after Clancy's children were found dead. Clancy is accused of killing her three children, and her defense argues that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time.
McDonough testified on August 3 at Plymouth Superior Court about Clancy's condition after an apparent suicide attempt, where she found Clancy outside her home. She described Clancy's physical injuries, including cuts on her neck and wrists, which she deemed "superficial." However, the cuts were reportedly made after Clancy jumped from a second-story window, according to the trial reporting.
During cross-examination, defense attorney Kevin Reddington questioned McDonough's memory of Clancy's treatment, prompting criticism online about the credibility of her testimony.
