@jescaslife: Day 11 of the Lindsay Clancy trial started with a surprising defense motion involving Emily Thorndike - a former McLean Hospital social worker who later became known for a viral TikTok discussing her experiences at the psych facility. The defense wants Thorndike added as a witness, arguing that her firsthand experience working at McLean could challenge the picture being presented about the care and environment there. But there’s a major issue: Thorndike was no longer working at McLean when Lindsay Clancy was a patient there, and prosecutors are challenging the relevance of what she could testify to. So this morning, the court heard arguments over whether a former McLean employee who later spoke publicly on TikTok should be allowed to testify in this murder trial. The judge has not yet ruled on whether Thorndike will be permitted to testify. Here’s my breakdown of what else happened this morning after psych NP Rebecca Jollotta testified briefly. Her testimony has focused on Lindsay’s mental health symptoms, the medications she was taking, and the evaluations conducted during her treatment. Her perspective is significant because she personally treated Lindsay before the events that led to the deaths of her three children. #LindsayClancy #LindsayClancyTrial #EmilyThorndike #McLeanHospital #LindsayClancyTrialDay11
