Lindsay Clancy’s Criminal Responsibility Explained by Expert

Forensic psychologist Dr. Kirk Heilbrun, a prosecution rebuttal witness in Lindsay Clancy’s ongoing trial, explained the Massachusetts standard for criminal responsibility as it applies to the case. Heilbrun testified that a person may not be criminally responsible if a mental disease or defect left them unable to substantially understand the wrongfulness of their conduct or conform their behavior to the law. Clancy is accused of killing her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months — inside their Massachusetts home in January 2023 before attempting to take her own life, with the defense arguing that her mental state played a significant role in the deaths.
