Episode Details

In this episode of Police Off the Cuff, retired NYPD Sergeant Bill Cannon examines the critical difference between psychotic behavior and criminal responsibility with guest Forensic Psychologist Dr. Joni Johnston as it pertains to the Lindsay Clancy case.  We break down what the jury had to decide, how mental illness affects legal responsibility, and why evidence of planning, awareness, and behavior before and after the killings matters. Was Lindsay Clancy legally responsible for her actions, or did her mental condition prevent her from understanding or controlling what she was doing?
