Did Lindsay Clancy's Prosecution Just Build Her Defense?

Five mental health professionals took the witness stand this week at Plymouth Superior Court as prosecution witnesses in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial. Every one of them described a woman in psychiatric crisis — cycling through medications, unable to sleep, calling a suicide hotline, begging providers to help her. The prosecution called them to prove Clancy was rational. The jury heard something else.

Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her children Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months. Her defense attorney Kevin Reddington argues she was overmedicated and suffering from postpartum psychosis.

The most damaging moment for the prosecution came when Dr. Jennifer Tufts, the psychiatrist who treated Clancy for four months exclusively through telehealth, contradicted her own medical records on the stand. Reddington read the notes back to her. She told the jury she didn't mean what she wrote.

Criminal defense trial attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries has been in the courtroom observing the prosecution's case. He breaks down what the jury is actually hearing, what Tufts's cross-examination revealed, and whether the Commonwealth's own witness list is doing the defense's work.
