  "account": "The trial of Lindsay Clancy resumed on Monday, with her first psychiatrist, Dr. Jennifer Tufts, facing cross-examination in her Massachusetts murder trial. Clancy is accused of killing her three children, 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Callan, in their Duxbury home on January 24, 2023. Prosecutors claim Clancy was intentionally overmedicated and suffering from extreme postpartum psychosis during the killings. Clancy's defense argues she was overmedicated due to her own fears and reluctance to take the prescribed medication. Tufts testified she never asked Clancy if she had called the suicide hotline or if she experienced suicidal thoughts. The defense attorney questioned Tufts about the potential dangers of prescribing Zoloft to Clancy, citing the black box warning for suicidal thoughts and actions. Tufts admitted she felt surprised that Clancy called the hotline twice but was denied entry. Tufts also stated she never considered Clancy an expert in postpartum depression or psychiatry, as her experience in that area was limited to one month during her residency.",
