Summary:

Mack maintained his depression-and-capacity opinion while acknowledging contrary symptom evidence and test limits; the video of his April interview with Clancy was admitted on redirect.

Body:

[SWORN TESTIMONY] Mack maintained that Clancy experienced a major depressive episode rather than psychosis and retained the ability to appreciate wrongfulness and control her conduct. [SWORN TESTIMONY] On cross, he acknowledged that hearing voices can be psychotic, that testing did not indicate malingering, and that records included reports of unreality and concern that others could hear her thoughts. [SWORN TESTIMONY] He recalled no medication-response blood testing in the records he reviewed, said thyroid testing can matter, and declined to judge the quality of prior care; that recollection is not proof that no testing existed anywhere. [VERIFIED FACT] On redirect, the Commonwealth introduced the video of Mack's April 2026 interview with Clancy into evidence.

Structured claims:
- [sworn_testimony] Mack maintained his opinion that Clancy had a major depressive episode rather than psychosis and retained the capacity to appreciate the wrongfulness of her conduct and conform it to law.
