Framing Analysis
Kirk Heilbrun, a psychologist who evaluated Lindsay Clancy in April, testified that she was not experiencing acute psychosis at the time she killed her three children and questioned her account of a commanding hallucination. The defense, represented by Kevin Reddington, maintains Clancy suffered from postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder and requested a mistrial after a prosecution witness referenced Catholic concepts of mortal sin. The judge denied the mistrial motion, and closing arguments are scheduled for this week.
