Why Lindsay Clancy Spent One Day at the Only Program Built for Her
One program in the treatment timeline was designed specifically for postpartum patients. Women & Infants Hospital in Providence ran a partial hospitalization track for mothers dealing with mood disorders after childbirth. Lindsay Clancy’s nurse practitioner sent her there in mid-December 2022 on an urgent basis.The Commonwealth alleges Clancy murdered her three children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan, at the family’s Duxbury home on January 24, 2023. She has acknowledged killing them. Her defense asserts she was in a psychotic state driven by postpartum illness. The prosecution argues she acted rationally and with planning.Jollotta anticipated Clancy would remain in the program for two weeks. According to testimony at Plymouth Superior Court, she stayed for a single day. Reddington pressed Jollotta on whether staff declined to admit Clancy over concerns about overmedication.Jollotta testified she was troubled by the early departure and told Clancy in a message that group therapy and additional support could help. She was reluctant to taper Seroquel because it had been easing Clancy’s depression and sleep. Before leaving for vacation, Jollotta left a written taper plan on December 21.Reddington produced hospital records suggesting Women & Infants attempted to reach Jollotta and received no answer. She denied receiving any call. Jollotta acknowledged she never communicated with Dr. Jennifer Tufts, the psychiatrist managing Clancy’s medications at the same time. The prosecution closed by asking whether Jollotta ever suspected postpartum psychosis. She testified she had not.
