Jennifer A Tufts

And the family's former nanny, Elaine Rossi, described Lindsay as a wonderful mom who loved her kids prior to her postpartum psychosis.

Now, psychiatrist Dr. Sejal Shah, who examined Lindsay multiple times just days after the killings, testified that she was calm and cooperative during her assessments, and even initially denied having suicidal and homicidal ideations and hallucinations.

Shea also shared that this doesn't disprove that Lindsay was in a state of psychosis at the time.

In the fourth week of testimony, multiple mental health professionals testified that they didn't observe any signs of psychosis or mania in Lindsay in the weeks leading up to the killings.

Now, Lindsay's primary psychiatrist, Dr. Jennifer Tufts, was also questioned at length about the medications she had prescribed Clancy.

but the defense grilling Tufts over her decision to stick to virtual visits instead of in-person sessions, which is a little weird, right? The trial was paused twice on Wednesday, August 12th, as she cried loudly and whispered, I can't do it, during testimony from the medical examiner about her children's autopsies and the injuries they sustained when they were killed.

Now, Lindsay Clancy had done some Google searches related to suicide and even wrote in her notes app about detailing her depression and thoughts on motherhood, saying things like, I feel like I'm not being as good of a mother to Callan as I am to the others.

Again, medical professionals who treated Lindsay before she killed their three children.

Patrick is suing psychiatric doctor Jennifer Tufts and psychiatric nurse practitioner Rebecca Jolotta, alleging that negligent treatment contributed to the deaths of Cora, Dawson, and Callen.

Attorneys for the providers appeared in court Wednesday asking a Massachusetts judge to throw out the lawsuit.

Their basic argument is foreseeability.

In several televised interviews, defense counsel characterized the defendant as a wonderful, intelligent, and incredible person.

He stated in an interview with CNN and ABC that the defendant did nothing wrong other than go to her doctor and happened to see this particular doctor, referring to his prior disparaging comments about Dr. Jennifer Tufts.

Defense counsel further commented about Patrick Clancy's testimony in relation to the 911 call, indicating no actor could produce such gut-wrenching horror.

He asked for a pardon for the defendant from President Trump.

So then back in twenty twenty-- or excuse me, January twenty twenty-three, before the killings, she was in the hospital for her mental health.

And so the, uh, treating providers, they testified, um, psychiatrist Jennifer Tufts, nurse practitioner Rebecca Gilada, and then McLean Hospital psychiatrist Aaliyah Goodheart.

And they testified that they saw severe depression and anxiety, but not psychosis.

Uh, Goodheart diagnosed major depressive disorder, severe, uh, without psychotic features during a, a five-day voluntary admission in early January twenty twenty-three, so before the killings.
