- Forensic psychologist Kirk Heilbrun testified Monday that Clancy had bipolar disorder and had experienced anxiety, depression, insomnia and suicidal thoughts in the weeks before the killings.
- Forensic psychiatrist Dr. Avram Mack, who testified Friday, instead identified a major depressive episode but found no evidence of mania, hypomania or psychosis.
- Attorney Kevin Reddington does not dispute that Clancy killed her three children in January 2023, but argues that postpartum psychosis made her criminally not responsible.
- Prosecutors allege that the former labor and delivery nurse planned the killings and lured her husband out with errands, while closing arguments are expected later this week.
There were times when she felt, as she described it, after the birth of different children, she felt good. She felt on top of the world. She felt really close to them, her husband and her kids and so on. But, it’s also something that it didn’t look like a manic episode so much as it looked like she was really feeling good.— Dr. Kirk Heilbrun, forensic psychologist and rebuttal witness for prosecutors in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial
