PLYMOUTH, Mass. — Testimony resumes Tuesday in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, with jurors expected to hear more evidence about her mental health and medical treatment as prosecutors and defense attorneys continue to battle over her state of mind before and after the deaths of her three young children.
According to the psychiatrist, when asked how she was feeling, Clancy wrote that she was “horrified.” The doctor also testified that Clancy wrote, “Do I have an attorney?”
Jurors also heard testimony from a Brigham and Women’s nurse. The nurse said a physician’s notes described Clancy as “critically ill” and included a diagnosis of “postpartum psychosis” in her medical records.

“I now have horrible insomnia and anxiety, which is causing depression. And I have no appetite. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I want help. I want to be well!”
As testimony enters its sixth day Tuesday, additional medical professionals are expected to take the stand for the prosecution. It remains unclear whether jurors will hear more excerpts from Clancy’s journal as the trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.
Boston 25 News will continue to provide updates from inside the courtroom throughout the day.
