Lindsay Clancy trial: 'Go to God' phrase splits experts in Massachusetts triple murder case

The trial of Lindsay Clancy, who killed her three children in Massachusetts in January 2023, is nearing its end, with the jury deciding whether she understood her actions. She faces conflicting psychiatric testimony. Defense expert Phillip Resnick testified Clancy suffered postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder, hearing command voices and believing she was protecting her children. Prosecution expert Avram Mack countered, diagnosing severe depression and anxiety without psychosis or mania, rejecting the bipolar basis. Mack revealed Clancy told her children "Go to God," a phrase the defense says shows distorted reality, while prosecutors argue it demonstrates planning and awareness. Postpartum psychosis affects one to two per 1,000 births. The trial continues Monday with more prosecution witnesses.
