Lindsay Clancy trial Day 19 recap of mistrial motion today – NBC Boston

What to Know

• Testimony continued Monday in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial as prosecutors call rebuttal witnesses, starting with Dr. Avram Mack and then forensic psychologist Kirk Heilbrun.
• Defense attorney Kevin Reddington moved for a mistrial Monday afternoon following a comment about how he’d discussed with Clancy the notion that suicide is a mortal sin, but Judge William Sullivan denied it, while emphatically striking the comment from the record.
• Prosecutors say Lindsay strangled her children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months — on Jan. 24, 2023, in their Duxbury, Massachusetts, home after sending her then-husband Patrick out for some errands. She then jumped out of the home’s second-story window and was paralyzed from the waist down in the fall. The defense says she was in the grip of bipolar disorder and postpartum psychosis and should not be held criminally responsible.
