Lindsay Clancy Trial | Postpartum Psychosis or Did Patrick Clancy

"We just have to accept that mental health is very serious, and a mother can love her children more than anything in the world and still have a brain that becomes dangerously sick."

Description

Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts labor and delivery nurse on trial for killing her three children, ages five, three, and eight months, received more than 30 different psychiatric prescriptions in just four months and was never diagnosed with postpartum psychosis before the killings.

While she has admitted to the murders, a wave of TikTok and true crime creators has spent the past week building an entirely different case against her husband, Patrick Clancy, pointing to a half marathon photo with his now wife, Dr. Rachel Danis, a Bratz doll crime scene recreation, and a Nancy Grace segment about the couple sitting too close together. Chalene checked every theory against the actual court testimony.

She also breaks down the one piece of evidence the judge won’t let the public hear, Patrick’s 911 call, described by courtroom insiders, including NBC10 Boston’s Sue O’Connell, as the most gut wrenching audio they have ever heard.

Topics discussed: Lindsay Clancy, Patrick Clancy, Cora Clancy, Dawson Clancy, Callan Clancy, Dr. Rachel Danis, McLean Hospital, postpartum psychosis, postpartum depression, SSRIs, Bermuda Half Marathon, Don’t F**k with Cats, Nancy Grace, Shannon Hill, Sue O’Connell, Commonwealth Confidential, Casey Anthony, George Anthony, Chris Watts.
