Lindsay Clancy's Texts Said WHAT One Day Apart?

State Police Sgt. Timothy Chiappini and Cellebrite examiner Ian Whiffin pulled two sets of messages off Lindsay Clancy's phone, one day apart, and prosecutors and defense attorneys are now building opposite cases out of the same device. On January 20, a message asks whether a sociopath can be treated. Prosecutors point to that line as evidence of a woman thinking strategically, not psychotically. The day before, on January 19, other messages describe hallucinations and symptoms of postpartum psychosis, and a second message on the 20th uses the word "intrusive." The defense says that's the real record of what was happening in her head. 
The digital evidence sits inside a bigger fight over who Lindsay Clancy told what, and when. The prosecution's own psychiatrist, Dr. Avram Mack, testified she described a male, laughing voice telling her it was her last chance, the same account she gave everyone else, including a hospital chaplain in the first week after her arrest, back in January 2023. Dr. Phillip Resnick and Dr. Paul Zeizel both separately diagnosed bipolar disorder with postpartum psychosis after spending hours and, in Zeizel's case, roughly sixty sessions with her. Mack disagrees and says he found no evidence of mania. 
Her family had already tried to intervene. She told them in December 2022 that she'd had thoughts of harming the kids, and they got her admitted to McLean Hospital, which sent her home as low risk nineteen days before the deaths. Her outpatient providers knew about those thoughts too, well before anyone examined a single text message. 
Closings are next. She's pleaded not guilty on three murder counts on the ground that she wasn't criminally responsible. Prosecutors allege planning and a faked suicide attempt. Tony Brueski walks through what the phone actually shows, and what it doesn't.
