Fourteen appointments. Every one by telehealth. Lindsay Clancy's psychiatrist, Dr. Jennifer Tufts, told the jury she never saw signs of psychosis and that Lindsay denied wanting to hurt herself or anyone else. Then the defense got three hours to cross-examine her.
Tufts admitted she didn't have Lindsay's complete medical record. She never requested hospital records. She didn't use the Edinburgh scale. She had no idea Lindsay had called a suicide hotline twice. She got her board certification the same day Lindsay filled out intake forms.
The prosecution put Tufts on the stand to prove Lindsay was mentally sound. The cross-examination turned that testimony into an argument about a system that treated a deteriorating mother through a screen.
Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down where the prosecution's case stands three weeks into the Lindsay Clancy trial. The state argues Lindsay sent Patrick out for takeout, timed the errand, and searched "ways to kill" before her children died. But the prosecution's own witnesses — the nanny, the pediatrician, the ex-husband — have told the jury she was a wonderful mother who couldn't get help. In Massachusetts, the state carries the burden of proving she was criminally responsible. The question is whether the prosecution's witnesses have been proving the opposite.
