Dr. Tufts Under Fire in Clancy Trial | Boston News

The trial of Lindsay Clancy, who killed her three children in 2023, returns to court with a high-stakes showdown over her mental state and the care she received. Dr. Jennifer Tufts, her treating psychiatrist, now faces intense scrutiny as the defense builds its insanity argument — claiming Clancy suffered from untreated postpartum psychosis and command hallucinations that drove her to violence. Tufts testified she saw no signs of psychosis or suicidal intent before the killings, even as Clancy begged to adjust her meds. Meanwhile, prosecutors argue the murders were premeditated, fueled by Clancy’s belief no one else could care for her kids. With the jury having toured the crime scene and heard testimony from 60 witnesses, this cross-examination of Tufts is pivotal — it could determine whether Clancy was criminally responsible or a victim of misdiagnosis and overmedication.
