'She was begging for help'; the psychologist and the voice
Lindsay Clancy Trial · The full record
Former mother-in-law Sue Clancy (a 38-year L&D nurse practitioner) said Lindsay 'was begging for help' in November 2022. Psychiatrist Dr. Donald Condie called the records 'somewhat sparse' and described postpartum psychosis symptoms. Forensic pathologist Dr. Elizabeth Laposata described a 'freefall dive headfirst.' Dr. Paul Zeizel, who had seen Clancy 45+ times, said she reported hearing 'a male voice ordering her' that she 'had no choice but to kill her children. And kill herself.' — Boston 25 News
