Lindsay Clancy didn't have acute psychosis when she killed her 3 children, psychologist says
World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported5m ago
Forensic psychologist Dr. Kirk Heilbrun testified Monday in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, asserting that the defendant was not experiencing acute psychosis when she killed her three children. The testimony, presented as the trial nears its conclusion, challenges the defense's claims regarding Clancy’s mental state at the time of the incident.
Heilbrun testified that he believes Clancy acted with the intention of preventing her children from suffering after she took her own life. This expert opinion directly contradicts the defense's argument that hallucinations or a break from reality drove her actions.
