Hundreds of women in pink rally in support of Lindsay Clancy during trial
Clancy’s lawyer does not dispute that she killed the children, but says she should not be held criminally responsible because she was mentally ill.
Dr. Phillip Resnick, a renowned forensic psychiatrist and Professor of Psychiatry at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, is set to testify as the final witness in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial. Known for his expertise in assessing violence risk and detecting false mental illness claims, Resnick has been a crucial witness in numerous high-profile cases, including those involving Jeffrey Dahmer, Susan Smith, Timothy McVeigh, Andrea Yates, and others.
His testimony in the Andrea Yates case led to her acquittal by reason of insanity, as she had drowned her five children in 2001. Resnick is expected to support Clancy's defense, arguing that she should not be held criminally responsible for the murders of her three children in 2023 due to her mental state, which was allegedly overmedicated and affected by postpartum psychosis.
The trial is nearing its conclusion, with Judge William Sullivan anticipating closing arguments to take place on Monday or Tuesday.
