Therapist says Clancy’s actions were shaped by illness, not intent

In a Massachusetts court, a psychologist testified that Lindsay Clancy’s severe mental illness, not criminal intent, led to the deaths of her three children. Prosecutors challenged the expert’s credibility and noted alleged errors in his report, while Clancy reportedly told caregivers she wanted to die; she later survived a suicide attempt by jumping from a second-story window and was left paralyzed. If found not criminally responsible due to mental illness, she would be committed to a state mental health facility; otherwise she faces life without parole.
