Devlin also cited Dr. Phillip Resnick’s testimony on altruistic filicide as influencing her vote. Psychiatric News describes this condition as a situation where a mother believes “death to be in the child’s best interest.”

Resnick, a forensic psychiatrist and expert in filicide (the killing of a child by a parent), testified on behalf of the defense that Clancy murdered her children not out of malice, but because she was so deeply suicidal that her psychosis made her believe they couldn’t live without her. Prosecutors had argued Clancy planned to kill her children.

“All throughout the trial … there had been nothing but good said about Lindsay and how amazing of a mother she was, how much she loved her children,” Devlin explained. “And then to hear somebody talking about a real reason why all of a sudden this could happen, that was really impactful.”
