  "summary": "Lindsay Clancy's murder trial continued with testimony from a psychiatrist at McLean Hospital, where she spent nearly five days in a psychiatric unit a few weeks before killing her three children. According to the Associated Press, prosecutors highlighted that Clancy denied wanting to harm anyone else or planning to kill herself during her hospital stay.\n\nClancy's defense team, on the other hand, is arguing that she had been seeking mental health help for months prior to the killings, but was not properly diagnosed and was prescribed a series of medications that worsened her condition. Her lawyer aimed to flesh out this narrative through the psychiatrist's testimony.\n\nThe trial has seen tense exchanges between the judge and the defense, with CBS News reporting on a recent confrontation. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to murder charges in the January 2023 strangling deaths of her three children.",
