Amy Robach & T.J. Holmes Present

Another full day of testimony continued on Tuesday in the Lindsay Clancy trial, but it began with a debate between the defense and prosecution over a potential defense witness. Clancy’s attorney wants to call a social worker to the stand who posted on TikTok about the hospital Lindsay admitted herself to in the weeks leading up to killing her three children. While the judge considers that request, jurors heard from two nurse practitioners who treated Clancy and maintained that while she talked of wanting to die, they did not believe she was suicidal and still do not believe she suffered from postpartum psychosis.

It was a jaw dropping cross examination that lasted for most the day on Tuesday. Lindsay Clancy’s defense attorney revealed the main psychiatrist treating Lindsay Clancy had only been practicing for one month while claiming to be an expert in postpartum issues. Dr. Jennifer Tufts had to admit that she completed most of her residency during COVID, and that she never once saw Clancy in person until that very day in the courtroom; all of their sessions were via zoom. The defense scored major points tearing apart Dr. Tufts assessment and treatment of Clancy, at one point saying Tufts’ choice of prescription drugs “pushed her over the edge.”

It’s been exactly one week since 29-year-old mom of 4, Tasia Fortune, was found hanging from a tree in the back of an abandoned home in Jackson, Mississippi. The medical examiner’s office is conducting an autopsy, but as of this recording, police have not said whether they suspect foul play or suicide. Of note, a Jackson City Council member has asked the U.S. Attorney’s office for help investigating, as Fortune’s family is demanding answers and justice. Over the past decade in Mississippi, there have been 3 other tree hanging deaths of black men, all of them ruled suicides over the objections of their families.

The trial of former gang leader, 63-year-old Duane Keith Davis begins today, three decades after the 1996 shooting death of rap icon Tupac Shakur. Davis isn’t accused of being the triggerman that night on the Vegas strip, but he’s accused of supplying the gun and orchestrating the killing. Davis has pleaded not guilty to first degree murder, but it was Davis’ own 2019 memoir and his public comments afterwards which detailed his role in the killing that landed him behind bars and on trial for his life.

As we continue to follow the testimony in the “Killer Mom Trial” in Massachusetts,  it’s hard to understand how posts on TikTok alleging a wild conspiracy theory are getting so much traction.  Tiktokers are claiming Lindsay Clancy’s husband, Patrick, is the person responsible for the strangling deaths of his three young children and that HE pushed her out of the window, rather than her jumping out of the window to end her own life.  With the defense clearly acknowledging that Lindsay murdered her children, saying she’s not guilty by reason of insanity, we discuss HOW so many people could come to this bizarre conclusion.

As week 3 of testimony continues in the Lindsay Clancy trial, fireworks erupted in the courtroom on Friday.  The defense attorney for the mom who says she killed  her three young children because she was suffering from postpartum psychosis, accused the prosecution of saying “shut her up” about Clancy’s sobbing as autopsy photos were shown to jurors.   The judge ultimately put out a warning to the courtroom about any inappropriate comments, as two psychiatrists who treated Clancy dominated much of the testimony.  Both doctors testified that Clancy showed no signs of psychosis.
