Overview
- The murder trial resumed in Plymouth Superior Court with doctors and first responders testifying about the Jan. 24, 2023 killings and jurors completing a court‑approved visit to the family home and nearby businesses, a sequence reported on Monday.
- Prosecutors entered handwritten diary entries into evidence that describe Clancy feeling “completely overwhelmed,” struggling with sleep and guilt, and they read those passages aloud to the jury.
- Hospital and ICU physicians described the childrens’ injuries and care, including that two children were pronounced dead at the hospital and the infant, Callan, was declared brain dead and taken off life support three days later.
- The defense accepts that Clancy caused the deaths but argues she suffered postpartum psychosis and undiagnosed bipolar disorder worsened by changing psychiatric prescriptions, and separate medical malpractice suits allege treatment failures that providers deny.
- The next phase will feature dueling psychiatric experts whose opinions will determine whether Clancy faces life in prison if convicted or civil commitment to a state psychiatric facility, and Clancy remains held at Tewksbury State Hospital while the trial continues.
