Lindsay Clancy's Prosecution May Have Proved Her Innocent

The murder trial of Lindsay Clancy is underway at Plymouth Superior Court, and the prosecution's first week of testimony has revealed something the jury won't easily set aside: Lindsay Clancy was on thirteen psychiatric medications at the time of her children's deaths.

The state's toxicologist confirmed that each drug was within its prescribed therapeutic range. But thirteen medications running through one person's system simultaneously is not the same as one medication at a normal dose — and no prosecution witness has addressed that distinction.

Defense attorney Kevin Reddington made an unusual tactical concession early in the trial. He told the judge his client does not contest the physical evidence. She killed her children. The exercise bands are the weapons. The DNA matches. That move eliminated dozens of prosecution witnesses and shifted the jury's attention to the only question that matters: criminal responsibility.

The prosecution's own psychiatrist, under cross-examination, acknowledged that psychosis can present with outward calm and apparent coherence. That admission — from the state's expert — goes directly to the heart of the defense's argument.

Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis assesses the prosecution's first-week strategy and whether the state has built a case for premeditation — or accidentally built the case for the defense.
