Two psychiatrists who treated Lindsay Clancy before the deaths of her children testified that they saw no signs of psychosis. Board-certified psychiatrist and former FDA medical officer Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring joins Joshua Ritter to explain why that evidence matters and why it may not answer what happened during the final 19 days before the killings.
Dr. Josef examines whether psychosis can emerge rapidly, how Clancy’s planned benzodiazepine taper and late medication changes may fit the timeline, and why reports that she felt emotionally “blunted” could matter when assessing risk.
Josh then puts the prosecution and defense theories head-to-head: does the absence of documented psychosis undermine Clancy’s lack-of-criminal-responsibility defense, or does the final medication timeline leave room for a sudden psychiatric crisis?
