Why Lindsay Clancy's Psychiatrist Never Met Her Before Her Children Died

Lindsay Clancy saw her psychiatrist fourteen times. Every appointment was a video call. Dr. Jennifer Tufts testified she never observed signs of psychosis and that Lindsay denied wanting to hurt herself or anyone else. On cross-examination, the foundation of that testimony collapsed.

Tufts didn't have Lindsay's full medical record during treatment. She never used the Edinburgh screening scale. She was unaware Lindsay had reached out to a suicide hotline on two occasions. Her board certification arrived on the same date Lindsay filled out intake paperwork. The prosecution brought her to the stand to prove Lindsay was mentally stable. Three hours of defense questioning turned that testimony into an exhibit about a healthcare system that evaluated a struggling mother through a screen.

Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis examines the prosecution's strategy three weeks into the trial. The state's premeditation theory relies on a single Google search and the timing of a takeout errand. But witness after witness called by the prosecution has described a devoted mother overwhelmed by thirteen medications and unable to get adequate help. In Massachusetts, the prosecution carries the burden of proving criminal responsibility. The state's own case may be undermining that burden.
