Lindsay Clancy case: forensic psychologist testifies that an 18-minute hallucination that lasts as long as 3 murders is not psychosis
A forensic psychologist says Lindsay Clancy's hallucination conveniently began and ended with the 18 minutes it took to kill her children.
Forensic psychologist Kirk Heilbrun testified during Lindsay Clancy's murder trial that the 18-minute hallucination Clancy experienced, during which she killed her three children, was not indicative of psychosis. He ruled out acute psychosis because he believed Clancy's hallucination was a unique occurrence, lasting only while she carried out the murders.
Heilbrun stated that Clancy heard an unfamiliar voice, which prompted her to believe she needed to kill her children so she herself could join them in heaven. He also noted that Clancy had bipolar 2 disorder and that her mental health issues were a contributing factor to the tragic event.
