Two Psychiatrists, Two VERY Different Conclusions About Lindsay Clancy | Trial Day 18
Shownotes
Lauren Matthias breaks down a pivotal Day 18 of the Lindsay Clancy trial as the defense and prosecution present sharply conflicting psychiatric opinions about Lindsay’s mental state on January 24, 2023. Renowned forensic psychiatrist Dr. Phillip Resnick — who testified in both Andrea Yates trials and has evaluated dozens of filicide cases — told jurors he believed Lindsay was suffering from bipolar II disorder, severe depression and postpartum psychosis, and that she was unable to conform her conduct to the law when she killed Cora, Dawson and Callan. On cross-examination, prosecutors challenged his conclusions using his own research on malingering and command hallucinations, then called rebuttal psychiatrist Dr. Avram Mack, who diagnosed major depression but rejected bipolar disorder and said he found no evidence of psychosis or mania in the relevant period. With the defense now rested, Lauren breaks down the expert battle over THE VOICE, criminal responsibility and the central question the jury will soon have to decide.
