Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial is zeroing in on her psychiatric care before she killed her three children. Testimony has traced a monthslong path to a final psychiatric appointment the day before the tragedy. Two psychiatrists testified Friday. Through questions, prosecutors emphasized she never told the doctors she planned to hurt the children or herself. Clancy’s defense aimed to flesh out its claim that various providers didn’t properly diagnose her and put her on a series of medications that left her worse off. Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse, has pleaded not guilty to murder. Prosecutors argue she was an intentional killer, while the defense claims she was mentally ill.

The former hospital at St. Vincent Behavioral Health Campus in Los Angeles was built in 1856 and has been closed since 2020. A group of 70 artists has since taken over exam rooms, nurses' stations and the entire lobby in an immersive art experience called “Hospital of Emotions.” The installation rooms focus on different dimensions of being human and visitors check in as if they are patients. In the “Resilience Department,” there's an interactive audio piece in which the artist recounts having an epileptic seizure. In another room a virtual character based off a real person who is a veteran talks about experiencing PTSD and reads a suicide note. The show will be open through the end of September.
