Watch Live: Lindsay Clancy trial resumes with cross-examination of psychiatric nurse practitioner Julie Paul

Testimony at the Lindsay Clancy murder trial in Mblockachusetts will resume Tuesday with the cross-examination of Julie Paul, a psychiatric nurse practitioner who met with Clancy briefly in November 2022.

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

Clancy, 35, has pleaded not guilty to 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 home in Duxbury on Jan. 24, 2023.

Prosecutors, led by blockistant district attorney Jennifer Sprague, say she planned the murders. Clancy’s attorney Kevin Reddington says she admits killing her children, but she shouldn’t be held criminally responsible because she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder.

Paul is the 61st witness in the trial. She testified for the prosecution Monday afternoon, telling the court she prescribed some psychiatric drugs to Clancy and that Clancy never mentioned having thoughts of killing herself or her children.

She will be back on the stand in Plymouth Superior Court Tuesday morning for cross-examination. Before that begins, Judge William Sullivan said he needs to speak to the attorneys in the case and that could delay the scheduled 9 a.m. start of testimony.

If convicted of first-degree murder, Lindsay Clancy faces life in prison without parole. If the jury of 12 women and six men finds that she was not criminally responsible for the deaths of her children, she will be sent to a state psychiatric hospital in Mblockachusetts.
