{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"Lindsay Clancy's Room Has Looked the Same Since 2023","description":"Lindsay Clancy has been at Tewksbury Hospital since January 2023. The room has not changed. The medication schedule has not changed. The locked ward has not changed. She is paralyzed from the waist down after her suicide attempt the same night she killed her three children. She has not reported hearing voices since that day.\n\nAndrea Yates killed her five children in 2001 and was found not guilty by reason of insanity in 2006. She has been in a state psychiatric facility for twenty years. Massachusetts law allows the same outcome: commitment with no maximum term, six months initially, renewed annually. If the state petitions and the court agrees Lindsay remains mentally ill and a danger, she stays.\n\nCriminal defense attorney Bob Motta was inside Plymouth Superior Court for the trial. He joins Tony Brueski to explain each verdict option, how the commitment process works under Massachusetts law, and what distinguishes life inside a psychiatric facility from life inside a prison for a woman in Lindsay's physical condition.\n\nBob also addresses the malpractice lawsuits filed by both Lindsay and Patrick against her medical providers and whether the criminal case outcome affects those suits. He examines whether this trial moves the needle on how the legal system treats maternal mental health or whether it just leaves everyone feeling broken.\n\nListen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292\n\nWant to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
