Did Lindsay Clancy’s Providers Create the Crisis?

Nine psychiatric medications. Eight prescribed in a three-week span. Telehealth-only appointments with a psychiatrist who never met her patient in person. No coordinated care plan. And a healthcare system that, according to two separate civil lawsuits, failed to diagnose a mother spiraling into postpartum psychosis.

Patrick Clancy filed a wrongful death suit in January 2026. Lindsay Clancy filed a medical malpractice complaint two days later. Both name the same providers — Dr. Jennifer Tufts, nurse practitioners Rebecca Jollotta and Julie Paul, therapist Lateisha Dukes, Aster Mental Health, and South Shore Health.

The criminal trial at Plymouth Superior Court produced five weeks of testimony and ended in a mistrial after the jury deadlocked eleven to one. Clancy had pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months. Prosecutors alleged deliberate action. The defense argued postpartum psychosis and overmedication.

The prosecution’s psychiatric experts and the defense’s psychiatric experts gave the jury contradictory assessments of Clancy’s mental state. The jury could not resolve the disagreement.

With the criminal case suspended, the civil lawsuits are now the only proceedings actively examining the treatment decisions that preceded the killings. Bob Motta of Defense Diaries examines what the providers face, whether the mistrial changes their exposure, and why the medical accountability fight may outlast the criminal one.
