MENGENAI EPISOD INI
A woman doesn't call someone back if she's being controlled by a voice in her head. That's the argument prosecutors made to a Plymouth County jury weighing whether Lindsay Clancy is criminally responsible for killing her three children. Twenty minutes. That's how long Clancy was alone with Cora, Dawson, and Callan while her husband Patrick ran to CVS and picked up Thai food. ADA Jennifer Sprague told jurors Clancy chose the basement, chose strangulation with exercise bands, and repeated it three times — then missed a call, phoned back, held a conversation, and hung up. Prosecutors say that isn't what a puppet does. The defense says it's exactly what happens once a hallucination has already finished its work. Clancy described a male voice that appeared once, on the afternoon of January 24, 2023, and told her this was her last chance. It lasted roughly eighteen minutes. It stopped the second her children were dead. Defense experts Paul Zeizel and Phillip Resnick both testified she had no appreciation that what she was doing was wrong. Resnick, who evaluated Andrea Yates after her own children's deaths, used the word puppet too — just aimed the other direction. The prosecution's forensic psychiatrist Gregory Saathoff pushed back hard on the timing, calling a hallucination that vanishes the instant the act is done clinically unusual. Defense attorney Reddington countered in closing with a different number: thirteen psychiatric medications, prescribed by providers who never spoke to one another. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta was inside that Plymouth courtroom. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer has her own read on the evidence. Tony Brueski brings both of them together as the jury weighs a case where two forensic teams looked at the same eighteen minutes and reached opposite conclusions.
