Lindsay Clancy Trial: Weekly Visits Ordered as Nurse Practitioner Feared for Her Safety

Testimony resumed today from Rebecca Jollotta, the psychiatric nurse practitioner certified by Postpartum Support International, in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and attorney Kevin Reddington is mounting an insanity defense centered on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Coming out of the morning recess, Jollotta detailed an extended thread of MyChart messages with Clancy, part of a pattern of communication that stretched well beyond the office visits. She told jurors that at a December 6, 2022 appointment attended by both Lindsay and Patrick Clancy, she floated the possibility of an underlying bipolar disorder. Jollotta said her concern for Clancy's mental health was significant enough that she wanted to be seeing her weekly — and that Lindsay had reported suicidal ideation, though notably never on the days Jollotta actually examined her.Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Patrick Clancy was out of the home running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial, underway in Plymouth Superior Court, is expected to run several more weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
