Was Lindsay Clancy suffering from severe mental illness, and what does the actual evidence tell us? In Part 2 of The Lindsay Clancy Interview Sessions, Andrew Skoklo, a former police officer, Navy veteran, former correctional officer and now investigator, takes a deeper look at one of the most important and controversial questions surrounding the case: Lindsay Clancy’s mental state leading up to the deaths of her three children.

We examine the reported evidence surrounding her mental health treatment, medications, behavior, statements, and the circumstances leading up to the tragedy. The discussion also explores how investigators, attorneys, and ultimately a jury may have to separate what can be proven from speculation and hindsight.

This case isn’t simply about determining what happened. A central legal question is Lindsay Clancy’s mental state when it happened, and whether the evidence supports the prosecution’s or defense’s interpretation of her actions.

Part 2 takes a closer look at the evidence, the competing arguments, and the questions that could ultimately determine Lindsay Clancy’s fate.
