Episode Description
The Lindsay Clancy trial took a dramatic turn on Day 19 as the prosecution continued its rebuttal case. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington finished his contentious cross-examination of psychiatrist Dr. Avram Mack, challenging his experience, his evaluation of Clancy nearly three years after the killings, and his conclusions about postpartum depression, postpartum psychosis and criminal responsibility. Then psychologist Dr. Kirk Heilbrun took the stand and revealed that Clancy told evaluators she said “go with God” to each of her children while killing them, believing she and the children would ultimately be together in heaven. Moments later, testimony about Catholic teaching and suicide as a “mortal sin” prompted Judge William Sullivan to stop the proceedings and sharply admonish the prosecution after he had previously barred similar testimony. The defense sought a mistrial, but the judge denied the request. Lauren Matthias breaks down the major testimony, courtroom clashes and what it could mean as the Lindsay Clancy murder trial moves closer to its conclusion.
