The Trial: USA · The Trial of Lindsay Clancy - The Jury Deliberates · 28 Aug 2026 podcast

Yeah, so that was all about the prosecution's rebuttal case. voice-verified

This was the prosecution's chance to counter the defense's claims that Lindsay Clancy was suffering from a mental disease or defect that meant she lacked control of her actions at the time of the killings, or was not able to conform her actions to the law, and therefore is not criminally responsible for killing her children. voice-verified

So the prosecution disagrees with that. voice-verified

And that really is the very heart of this entire case. voice-verified

So the state provided their own experts to rebut that. voice-verified

It's their belief that Lindsay Clancy was able to understand and control her own actions at the time of the killings, which is why they are seeking a murder conviction. voice-verified

Yes, he did, Luke, and you might also remember that doctor Halbrun caused the defence to call for a mistrial after he started delving into Catholic beliefs and whether Lindsay thought suicide was a mortal sin. voice-verified

However, those comments were disregarded by the judge and his testimony continued. voice-verified

So let's pick up where prosecutor Jennifer Sprague began to question him over Lindsay's decision making. voice-verified

The prosecution believed that Lindsay was able to make decisions while killing her children. voice-verified

Which they say is an indicator that she had mental capacity at the time. voice-verified

Here's how Dr. voice-verified

Halburn responded when asked about the possibility of decision making. voice-verified

Dr. voice-verified

Halburn also said that he believes Lindsay may have been suffering from peritraumatic disassociation, a feeling of being detached from your own body or watching yourself from far away. voice-verified

But he said that this differs from being psychotic. voice-verified

Now, this is relevant as in our last episode we heard the defense lists those symptoms. voice-verified

As a way to support their argument that Lindsay was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time of the killings. voice-verified

Yes, he claimed that Lindsay retained an awareness of the illegality of killing and concluded that her actions were more consistent with a serious suicide attempt, accompanied by something we've heard a bit about already, altruistic philicide. voice-verified

And what that means is when a parent kills their child because they believe that they would suffer if they were left behind. voice-verified
