Why A Coworker Told Lindsay Clancy About Andrea Yates

If Lindsay Clancy was truly psychotic, why would she care whether Patrick was home? That's the question in this comment section, and it's the prosecution's argument, so it deserves the record's answer.

Prosecutors allege she timed the errand. Patrick Clancy testified she asked him to add the CVS stop as he was walking out, and texted the product name around 5:15. Both facts are in evidence. Whether that adds up to premeditation is the jury's call, and the prosecution's own witness, Dr. Sejal Shah, agreed a person in psychosis can still communicate and plan.

Her account of that night comes through three witnesses. Zeizel, Cavanaugh, and Mack all testified she described a male voice telling her she had no choice and had to kill the children and then herself. That's her claim, and prosecutors contest it. It's also the exact sequence she was on when Patrick found her in the yard.

Another comment bets on OCPD. No expert who testified diagnosed it. The record has bipolar disorder from experts on both sides, major depression from Mack, and postpartum psychosis from the defense only.

Then there's the coworker. Margaret Hamp testified she told Lindsay about Andrea Yates during Lindsay's first year on the unit, because a pregnant patient had come in planning to hurt herself. Lindsay had never heard the name. Her reaction is on the record and it opens this segment.

Five comments about whether Lindsay was in her right mind, each checked against the doctors, the nurse practitioner, the therapist, and the standard the judge gave the jury. The psychosis fight is real. It's happening between experts, and the comment section is a long way behind them.
