Watch Live: Prosecutors in Lindsay Clancy trial to call final witness

Translate

Lindsay Clancy's murder trial resumes Tuesday in Massachusetts with more testimony from a forensic psychologist hired by the prosecution.

You can watch the trial live on CBS News Boston in the embedded video or on YouTube when court is in session.

Dr. Kirk Heilbrun will be back on the stand a day after his testimony was cut short when he started talking about Clancy's Catholic religion. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington called for a mistrial. Plymouth Superior Court Judge William Sullivan denied it, but he reprimanded the prosecution for the testimony.

Reddington will cross-examine Heilbrun Tuesday.

Once Heilbrun finishes his testimony, one more prosecution rebuttal witness is expected on the stand. Then, all sides will discuss the next steps in the trial. Closing arguments could be held as early as Wednesday.

Clancy, 36, has pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree murder in the deaths of her three children - 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan - in their Duxbury, Massachusetts home on Jan. 24, 2023. She has admitted to the killings, but her attorney said she should not be held criminally responsible because she was overmedicated and suffering from postpartum psychosis.

Prosecutors said Clancy planned the murders. If she's convicted of first-degree murder she faces life in prison without parole. If the jury determines Clancy was not criminally responsible, she will be sent to a state psychiatric hospital in Massachusetts.
