Emotional outburst from Lindsay Clancy … she broke down sobbing in court while the medical examiner testified in her triple-murder trial.
When Dr. Barbara Olson took the stand on Wednesday, Lindsay started crying so hard that the judge had to call a break and get the jury out of the room.
Dr. Olson was describing 5-year-old Cora‘s autopsy … mentioning bruising and discussing the pain and damage associated with dying from strangulation.
That’s when Lindsay became overwhelmed with emotion and slumped over … sobbing and saying, “I can’t do it.”
The intense moment was caught on cameras inside the courtroom … and it’s a really rough watch.
Page Six reports this is the second break the judge ordered today after Lindsay started crying — the first was when another medical examiner took the stand to talk about examining the kids’ body parts.
Social worker Latiesha Dukes — who’d seen Lindsay at a postpartum clinic — testified that, on two occasions, Lindsay contacted crisis line Aspire but was turned away because she wasn’t suicidal enough and didn’t have a “plan.”
As you know, Lindsay’s accused of murdering Cora, Dawson and 8-month-old Callan by strangling them with exercise bands back in January 2023.
Afterward, she allegedly cut her wrists and jumped out of a second-story window … paralyzing herself.
Her defense says she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and should be found not guilty by reason of insanity … but the prosecution is arguing she acted intentionally when she killed her kids.
