What the record shows

Judge William Sullivan presided. The large majority of testimony on Monday 10 August was from psychiatrist Dr. Jennifer Tufts. The cross-examination of Tufts was the first information that the jury heard during the third week of testimony at Plymouth Superior Court.1

Tufts, who worked for South Shore Health, began testifying on Friday 7 August. She and other psychiatrists are named defendants in two separate civil suits filed by Lindsay Clancy and her husband Patrick.1

Defense attorney Kevin Reddington spent Monday morning and early afternoon cross-examining Tufts focusing on how she treated the then-32-year-old mother. The prosecution started re-direct after the break.1

Dr. Jennifer Tufts testified she treated Lindsay Clancy from September 2022 to 23 January 2023, noting her symptoms and struggles with side effects of medications.1

Contested

Limits
