Psychologist testifies Lindsay Clancy was not criminally responsible in killing of her 3 children

PLYMOUTH, Mass. - Lindsay Clancy didn't appreciate the "wrongfulness" of killing her three children because of her mental health issues, a psychologist testifying for the defense said at her murder trial Wednesday.

"She was unable to conform her behavior to the rule of law. She had no appreciation for the wrongfulness of her act," Zeizel said, adding that she had "a mental disease or a defect."

Zeizel said Clancy "was worried that her children would be removed from her and that she would never see them again."

"Lindsay Clancy has bad days and worse days," Zeizel said.

"She really loves them and misses them and thinks of them every single day, almost every moment of the day," Zeizel said.

If convicted of murder, Clancy faces life in prison without parole. If found not guilty because of a lack of criminal responsibility, she would be committed to a state mental-health facility.
