The Lindsay Clancy trial resumes Monday in Plymouth Superior Court with a forensic psychiatrist expected back on the stand as testimony winds down in the Massachusetts murder case.You can watch the Clancy trial live on CBS News Boston in the video player attached to this article, or on the WBZ-TV YouTube page when court is in session.Dr. Avram Mack testified Friday that he met with Clancy at Tewksbury Hospital in April, and she recalled telling her three children to "go to God" as she killed them in her Duxbury home. He was being cross-examined by defense attorney Kevin Reddington when court ended on Friday.Mack was the first rebuttal witness called by the prosecution, as is protocol in insanity defense cases. Reddington said he expects the prosecution to call two more witnesses. Closing arguments could happen this week. The defense rested on Friday after calling its last witness, forensic psychiatrist Dr. Phillip Resnick, a key figure in the Andrea Yates trial. Resnick testified that Clancy reported feeling an "external force" take over her body before the murders. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree murder in the deaths of 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan.The prosecution argues Clancy planned the murders and has suggested that her suicide attempt was not serious. The defense says she should not be held accountable because she was overmedicated and suffering from postpartum psychosis.
