Trial for Mass. Woman Accused of Killing Her 3 Children Delayed; Venue Change Denied
The trial involves complex mental health defenses and extensive discovery, with both sides agreeing the delay is necessary for proper preparation.
- On November 18, 2025, Plymouth Superior Court Judge William F. Sullivan set Lindsay Clancy's trial for July 20, 2026, denying the defense's motion to move it to Suffolk Superior Court in Boston.
- Defense and prosecutors agreed the case is discovery-intensive, noting government evaluations and records are unfinished, making the Feb. 9, 2026 date unworkable.
- Clancy appeared via Zoom from Tewksbury State Hospital, and court officials discussed her paralysis and debated ambulance versus wheelchair van transport with medical staff.
- The court scheduled a status hearing for Jan. 27, 2026, and a final pretrial on July 13, 2025, noting Judge Sullivan warned summer vacations could complicate scheduling.
- Clancy is charged with killing her three children on Jan. 24, 2023, and faces three counts each of murder and strangulation while her defense plans an insanity claim opposed by prosecutors who cite deliberate planning.
