Lindsay Clancy Trial Begins Monday: Judge Bars Postpartum-Psychosis Survivors, Patrick Clancy to Testify for the Defense, and Baldoni Fights
About this episode
The episode covers the beginning of the Lindsay Clancy trial, the civil case involving Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively, and an arrest order for Jen Belichick.
A three-case roundup. In Plymouth, Massachusetts, the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy nears, with jury selection set for July 20th. Clancy, 35, has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity in the January 2023 strangulation deaths of her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months; her defense concedes she caused their deaths but argues she was in the grip of postpartum psychosis and not criminally responsible. Judge William Sullivan has barred the defense from calling other women who survived postpartum psychosis (ruling they can't speak to Clancy's state of mind), denied jury sequestration, and plans to seat eighteen jurors. The children's father, Patrick Clancy, is expected to testify for the defense. In New York, the civil battle between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively — which settled in May with no payment or admission after most claims were dismissed on legal grounds — continues over Lively's request for more than $8 million in legal fees; Baldoni's side calls the request excessive.
