<p>Dr. Avram Mack, a rebuttal witness for the prosecution in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial, is reportedly "no longer employed" at Nemours Children's Health in Delaware.</p><p>CT Insider reported that as of Friday, the psychiatrist — who engaged in several exchanges with defense attorney Kevin Reddington during his testimony — was no longer associated with Nemours Children’s Health. Nemours later clarified that Mack resigned from the position on Monday — the same day his cross-examination concluded.</p><p>Mack, who trained at Columbia and has largely practiced child and adolescent psychiatry, was questioned by Reddington during cross-examination regarding his limited experience evaluating adult patients.</p><p>"Dr. Avram Mack is no longer employed by Nemours Children’s Health," a spokesperson told the outlet, but did not provide further details, adding, "employment decisions are confidential."</p><p>The Daily Wire independently confirmed that a directory search for Mack's name on the Nemours website yielded no results.</p><p>Mack's resume, which he submitted during his testimony in the Clancy trial, indicated that he had been employed at Nemours Children’s Health in the Delaware Valley since 2023.</p><p>Mack argued for the prosecution that Clancy should be held criminally responsible for the deaths of her three young children, despite acknowledging that she was in a serious psychiatric state at the time.</p><p>Mack testified that he did not consider postpartum-specific conditions in his evaluation of Clancy, citing guidelines that limit the postpartum period to four weeks after birth — a definition disputed by Reddington and other experts in the case, with some testimony suggesting the window could extend to a year or more.</p><p>He also stated that he had not observed any evidence of "manic" episodes, leading him to conclude that Clancy was not suffering from bipolar disorder. He noted that some of the fears she expressed were typical for many mothers early in their children’s lives.</p><p>Mack and Reddington debated the typical timeframe for postpartum depression and psychosis, as well as the definition of "postpartum." At one point, after Mack appeared to smile, Reddington remarked, "What are you smiling for? This is not funny, sir."</p><p>Psychiatrist Dr. Phillip Resnick, a witness for the defense, testified that he believed Clancy to be "frankly psychotic," stating that she experienced "command hallucinations" instructing her to harm her children.</p><p>Other testimony questioned the fact that she had only heard the voice for a brief period — an atypical presentation — and that it ceased immediately after she had harmed the children.</p><p>Dr. Gregory Saathoff, who interviewed Clancy in May and June of 2026, also noted that Clancy had taken on additional errands to ensure her husband, Patrick Clancy, would be away from the house longer.</p><p>The prosecution closed its case by arguing that Clancy had "acted intentionally, rationally and swiftly" when she took her children’s lives.</p><p>"I’m not saying she was happy about it. I’m saying it was what she had to do to end her misery,” prosecutor Jennifer Sprague stated. "But it was a choice. It was a choice."</p><p>Reddington attempted to attribute Clancy's condition to the psychiatric medication she had been prescribed, some of which she reportedly did not take consistently, arguing that she was failed by the system due to inadequate medical care.</p><p>The jury deliberated for about three-and-a-half hours on Thursday and roughly seven hours on Friday. They are expected to resume deliberations on Monday. If they find Clancy criminally responsible for the murders, she will likely face life in prison without the possibility of parole. If the jury finds her not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility, prosecutors can petition the court to have her remanded to a psychiatric facility.</p>
