Lindsay Clancy's actions have been referred to as a "mortal sin" for a second time in her murder trial, this time by forensic psychologist Kirk Heilbrun, who testified Monday.

Defense attorney Kevin Reddington objected to his statement, and Judge William Sullivan then called for a sidebar. Jurors were sent out of the room, and after a brief recess, Reddington made a motion to request for a mistrial.
