Why Lindsay Clancy's Psychiatrist Never Met Her

Fourteen telehealth appointments. Not one of them in person. Lindsay Clancy's psychiatrist treated her for months without ever sitting in the same room as her — and defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to explain why that detail became one of the more damaging moments of the trial so far. 
Dr. Jennifer Tufts told the jury Lindsay showed no signs of psychosis. Under cross-examination from Kevin Reddington, she acknowledged she didn't have Lindsay's complete medical record, didn't know about two prior calls Lindsay made to a suicide hotline, and had become board-certified the same day Lindsay's intake paperwork was filled out. Faddis breaks down why the prosecution called her at all, and how that testimony was received once Reddington finished with her on the stand. 
Faddis unpacks what the prosecution needs from a witness like this — proof that Lindsay understood what she was doing — and how three hours of cross-examination complicated that. The state is also leaning on what Lindsay did the morning her children died: sending her husband out, timing the errand, and a phrase she typed into her phone that prosecutors consider central to their case. 
Meanwhile, the defense has spent weeks documenting thirteen psychiatric medications, near-daily messages begging providers for changes, and journal entries describing intrusive thoughts and brain fog. No provider diagnosed postpartum psychosis before that day — the diagnosis came afterward, from a forensic psychiatrist the defense brought in. 
Faddis lays out where each side stands and what Massachusetts prosecutors still have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. The providers who treated Lindsay before her children died are turning out to be as central to this trial as anything said in the courtroom since.
