{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"Why Patrick Clancy Turned On His Kids' Doctors","description":"Here's what the prosecution didn't count on in the Lindsay Clancy trial: their own witness might be their biggest problem. Patrick Clancy took the stand in Plymouth Superior Court to help the state prove his wife was rational enough to plan what happened to their three children. He described one of her best days — a snowman, normal texts, nothing that looked like a woman in crisis.\nProsecutors leaned into it hard. Jurors sat through a seven-minute 911 call. They saw the pajamas. They saw the exercise bands. They heard about the fourteen-second phone call Patrick got after the children were already gone, a call where he had no idea anything had happened.\nThen cross-examination flipped the room. Lindsay had checked herself into McLean Hospital on New Year's Eve. She'd gone to the ER. She'd told providers, more than once, about intrusive thoughts involving her own children. And Women and Infants Hospital had already flagged overmedication and a possible misdiagnosis — a warning that went nowhere.\nAnd then came the detail nobody in that courtroom saw coming: Patrick Clancy filed a civil lawsuit against the doctors. Lindsay filed her own, separately. The father who just testified for the prosecution is, outside those courtroom doors, telling a different story about who's actually responsible.\nTony Brueski sits down live with criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries to go through it in real time — what ADA Buckingham's opening statement bet on, what the defense pulled out of Patrick on cross, and whether a jury asked to judge a mother's mind can ignore what her own husband believes happened to her. They also get into how Massachusetts law defines criminal responsibility for someone the state's own witness may not fully believe was in control.\nHashtags\n#LindsayClancy #PatrickClancy #HiddenKillersLive #BobMotta #DefenseDiaries #PostpartumPsychosis #PlymouthSuperiorCourt #MurderTrial #TrueCrime #CriminalResponsibility\nLinks & Legal Footer\nJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/\nWant to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
