He said that Clancy reported that she told each of her children to “go with God” while killing them.“And that was part of her expectation: that she and the children would be together in heaven with God,” Heilbrun said. “She was raised as a Catholic, and, as I understand Catholic considerations, that’s not necessarily what happens.”Forensic phycologist Dr. Kirk Heilbrun testifies yesterday.

Judge William Sullivan also instructed jury members to strike it from the record in that instance.34m ago / 7:41 AM EDTDefense requested mistrial on Monday over witness invoking Clancy's faith, judge denies itDefense attorney Kevin Reddington submitted a motion for a mistrial on Monday afternoon after a prosecution witness brought up Clancy’s Catholic faith, describing it as “intentional misconduct.”Prior to a recess, Dr. Kirk Heilbrun described that he found Clancy’s statements about her children “going to God” after their death as contrary to her Catholic religion’s belief.

He will then dismiss them for the day.“I’m going to tell them that’s an inappropriate area of inquiry, and that this witness’ understanding of Catholic dogma or Catholic teaching is irrelevant,” the judge said.45m ago / 7:30 AM EDT‘Everything felt so real’: Mothers who experienced postpartum psychosis speak out amid Lindsay Clancy trialThree mothers who survived postpartum psychosis describe their experiences with the condition — and what they want people following the Lindsay Clancy trial to know.“I honestly found my experience humbling because it was a reminder that psychosis does not care about your status or your age or your socioeconomic position,” Ayana Lage, 33, said about her 2020 experience. “It can truly happen to anyone.”Read the full story here.45m ago / 7:30 AM EDTAt the center of a case that is gripping the nation stands the question: Is Lindsay Clancy criminally responsible for killing her three children?
