Dr. Resnick Examined Lindsay Clancy And WHAT Other Mother?

Dr. Phillip Resnick examined two women who killed their own children in the exact same way, decades apart, and reached the same conclusion both times. He evaluated Andrea Yates before her 2001 case ended in a not guilty by reason of insanity verdict, and he told Lindsay Clancy's jury she was following a command voice too, the same finding, one expert, two mothers.
That comparison sits at the center of a defense case that's now rested. The record shows Lindsay in session with her psychiatrist on January 23, 2023, one day before the killings, on top of two nurse practitioners, a therapist, two December calls to a suicide hotline, and a five-day inpatient stay at McLean Hospital that ended nineteen days before. The planning theory, built on errands and timing, runs into Resnick's testimony that the Commonwealth's own testing found no evidence of faking, and that Lindsay downplayed her symptoms rather than exaggerated them. The staged-jump theory runs into the fact that she's paralyzed for life and remains on suicide watch at Tewksbury Hospital.
Prosecutors have their own expert. Dr. Avram Mack, who interviewed Lindsay in April 2026, testified she could tell right from wrong, and told the jury she said "go to God" to her children during the killings, a statement she reportedly framed very differently to a hospital chaplain a week later and to Resnick himself months after that.
Closings are next. Lindsay's plea is not guilty on three counts of murder, on the ground that she lacked criminal responsibility, and a conviction would mean life without parole starting at age thirty-six for a woman already paralyzed and under suicide watch. Tony Brueski asks what it means when the same doctor who helped clear one mother says the same thing about another.
