Lindsay Clancy's murder trial resumed Friday in Massachusetts for what could be the final day of witness testimony. The defense rested after forensic psychiatrist Dr. Phillip Resnick, a key witness in the Andrea Yates case after she killed her five children in Texas in 2001, took the stand to testify that Clancy said she felt an "external force" take over her body before the murders.The prosecution is now offering rebuttal witnesses before the trial goes to closing arguments, as is protocol when an insanity defense is presented.You can watch testimony when court is in session live on CBS News Boston in the embedded video or on YouTube.Clancy, 36, 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 Duxbury home on Jan. 24, 2023.
