criminal defense attorney

A forensic psychologist testified Wednesday at the murder trial in Plymouth Superior Court that Lindsay Clancy suffered from bipolar disorder with postpartum psychosis and could not appreciate the wrongfulness of her actions when she killed her three children in January 2023. The defense expert, Paul Zeizel, told jurors that Clancy misses her children and thinks of them constantly while receiving round-the-clock treatment at Tewksbury Hospital.

Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of her 5-year-old daughter Cora, 3-year-old son Dawson, and infant son Callan in Duxbury. During the proceedings, a criminal defense attorney also criticized prosecutors as tone-deaf and uncaring, while Judge William Sullivan abruptly sent the jury home for the day due to an unspecified unforeseen circumstance.

Uncertainty remains regarding the exact cause of the afternoon court delay, as the judge instructed jurors not to speculate about the interruption. Testimony in the high-profile murder trial is scheduled to resume Thursday morning.
