Canonical URL: https://lindsay.conspirograph.com/topic/unresolved-questions/card/229
The prosecution psychiatrist diagnosed major depression rather than bipolar disorder or psychosis and opined that Clancy retained legal capacity; his cross-examination is not finished.
[SWORN TESTIMONY] Mack diagnosed a major depressive episode and rejected bipolar and psychosis diagnoses in his review. He opined that Clancy retained substantial capacity to appreciate wrongfulness and conform her conduct. These are retained-expert opinions, not jury findings. [SWORN TESTIMONY] He relayed Clancy's reported account of a male voice and interpreted her statements and conduct differently from defense experts; those reports are not independent proof. [SWORN TESTIMONY] Cross-examination challenged his limited postpartum case experience, retention, collateral work, and diagnostic framework and will continue Monday.
