The Lindsay Clancy murder trial may be only days away from reaching the jury.
Thursday’s unusually short session featured one defense witness: hospital chaplain Sheila Cavanaugh. She testified that Clancy repeatedly described hearing a male voice that warned her that she and her children would not be safe if she refused to obey it.
The testimony supports the defense’s argument that Clancy was experiencing severe postpartum psychosis. Prosecutors, however, emphasized that Cavanaugh’s detailed notes did not document Clancy reporting a voice. Cavanaugh said those notes were summaries rather than complete transcripts of their conversations.
All 18 jurors were also questioned individually before testimony began, although the reason for those inquiries has not been disclosed.
With the defense potentially calling one final witness, rebuttal testimony and closing arguments could be next. Jurors will ultimately decide whether Clancy deliberately planned the killings or was experiencing a psychotic break that prevented her from understanding the wrongfulness of her actions.
