The Commonwealth rested on Day 14 — and five days later, so did the defense. In this recap of Days 14-18 of the Lindsay Clancy trial, I break down every witness the defense called: the Cellebrite analyst who closed out the prosecution's case, Lindsay's sister and mother, an L&D nurse who worked with her at MGH, Patrick's mother, a psychopharmacology expert who runs 350 group homes, the former Chief Medical Examiner of Rhode Island, Dr. Paul Zeizel, a hospital chaplain, and finally forensic psychiatrist Dr. Phillip Resnick — who literally wrote the book on the field and testified in the Andrea Yates trial.

This is the last recap before closing arguments.

Days 5–7 of the Lindsay Clancy brought testimony from investigators, medical witnesses, and the Clancy family's nanny—but instead of strengthening the prosecution's case, several moments raised new questions.

In this episode, I break down the testimony that actually mattered, explain what stood out, and separate the important developments from the courtroom noise.

Days 3 and 4 of the Lindsay Clancy trial focused almost entirely on medical testimony, and several moments stood out.

I break down:

• Why Dr. Kelly McDonough's testimony drew so much attention during cross-examination.
• What the jury learned about the severity of Lindsay's injuries.
• ICU nurses' testimony about her condition in the days following the incident.
• References to postpartum psychosis that appeared throughout the medical record.
• Psychiatrist Dr. Sejal Shah's testimony about postpartum psychosis, delirium, and why someone can still appear organized while experiencing a psychiatric crisis.
• Why these witnesses may have changed how jurors evaluate the evidence presented so far.

This episode is an analysis of the testimony presented in court and what it could mean as the trial continues.

Patrick Clancy has now completed his testimony in the Lindsay Clancy trial.

Rather than simply recapping what happened in court, this episode focuses on what his testimony actually means for the case. We look at the prosecution's strategy, the defense's cross-examination, Patrick's description of Lindsay's mental health before the killings, and the moments that may become important as the trial moves forward.

As always, opening statements and witness testimony are pieces of a much larger puzzle. The question isn't simply what was said—it's what the jury is likely to do with it.

Opening statements in the Lindsay Clancy trial laid out two dramatically different explanations for what happened on January 24, 2023.

The prosecution says Clancy was methodical, deliberate and in control when she killed her three children before attempting to take her own life. The defense says she was a devoted mother suffering from severe postpartum psychiatric illness who had repeatedly sought help before everything went catastrophically wrong.

I'm breaking down both openings — including the alleged planning before Patrick Clancy left the house, Lindsay's mental health treatment and medications, her devastating injuries, the dispute over when she first reported hearing a command voice, and the arguments from both sides that I'll be watching closely as testimony begins.

Opening statements aren't evidence. So for now, the question is: which version will the evidence support?

And I want to know where you stand going into the trial: guilty, not guilty by reason of insanity, or undecided?

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial begins Monday, and the final pretrial hearing gave us a pretty good preview of just how contentious this trial may become.

Lindsay Clancy is charged with killing her three children — Cora, Dawson, and Callan — at the family's Duxbury, Massachusetts home in January 2023. She does not dispute that she killed them. Her defense centers on her mental state and postpartum psychosis.

At the final pretrial hearing, defense attorney Kevin Reddington challenged the prosecution's plan to call roughly fifteen first responders to testify about what they encountered at the Clancy home. He accused prosecutors of presenting cumulative evidence designed to inflame the jury, at one point calling the prosecution's approach "reprehensible."

ADA Jennifer Sprague pushed back forcefully, arguing that three victims necessarily created multiple chains of first responders and that the Commonwealth is entitled to present the evidence needed to prove its case.

Judge John Sullivan ultimately stepped in as the exchange became increasingly heated and said he would address potentially cumulative testimony as the witnesses are called.

In this episode, I break down what happened, why the number of first-responder witnesses matters, Lindsay Clancy's offers to stipulate to certain facts, and why I'm watching the prosecution's approach closely as opening statements begin Monday.
