Testimony wraps in Lindsay Clancy murder trial
Testimony concluded on Wednesday in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother who admitted to killing her children but pleaded not guilty, arguing she had postpartum psychosis. CBS News correspondent Shanelle Kaul reports.
The final witness in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial in Massachusetts will testify on Wednesday. The prosecution's key expert, Dr. Gregory Saathoff, has been cross-examined by defense attorney Kevin Reddington. Saathoff testified about Clancy's interview, where she described hearing a voice that instructed her to kill her three children and herself.
He noted inconsistencies in her story and stated that the voice's absence after the murders indicated Clancy had control over her actions. The jury will be dismissed after Saathoff concludes his testimony, and both sides will prepare for closing arguments on Thursday. If convicted, Clancy faces life in prison without parole.
