Testimony is expected to continue Monday in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial as prosecutors call rebuttal witnesses, continuing discussion of Clancy’s mental health and whether postpartum psychosis contributed to the killing of her three children.
The defense rested on Friday after calling its final witness, forensic psychiatrist Dr. Phillip Resnick. But testimony on Clancy’s mental state during the killings continued with a rebuttal witness, with psychiatrist Dr. Avram Mack disputing some of the conclusions presented by Resnick.
