Lindsay Clancy Trial: Reddington Grills Prosecution's Own Expert Witness

Lindsay Clancy Trial: Reddington Grills Prosecution's Own Expert Witness


Lindsay Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is standing trial for the murders of her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — allegedly strangled with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her defense, led by Kevin Reddington, is built around an insanity claim: severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.

Cross-examination is where the prosecution's expert stopped having it easy. Dr. Gregory Saathoff, the FBI-affiliated forensic psychiatrist who diagnosed Clancy with bipolar II and testified she was criminally responsible, admitted under Reddington's questioning that he wasn't brought onto this case until January or February of 2026 — well after the killings — and that he didn't even know how much his own university employer got paid for his testimony. Reddington didn't let that sit quietly, either, pressing the point that Saathoff's expert work runs almost exclusively for prosecutors, prisons, and the institutions that write his paychecks.

It got more pointed from there. Saathoff confirmed Clancy did tell her husband and mother about homicidal ideation — but when Reddington asked whether she'd complained to doctors, friends, and family about dark, intrusive thoughts of suicide and homicidal ideation more broadly, Saathoff wouldn't concede the homicidal piece. He did admit she kept reaching out for help, and that she told her doctors about dark thoughts and suicidal ideation. What never got asked, notably: whether those thoughts were just thoughts, or whether she experienced them as voices.

Saathoff also testified he treated women with postpartum depression back in the 1980s and '90s, background the defense clearly wants jurors weighing against his conclusions today.

Clancy is now paralyzed from the waist down after allegedly jumping from a second-story window. Husband Patrick Clancy has relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.
