Overview
- Clancy is scheduled to appear remotely Monday afternoon in Plymouth Superior Court for a pretrial motions hearing.
- Defense counsel seeks to separate the trial into two phases and to obtain prospective juror information earlier than usual.
- Prosecutors argue there is no constitutional right to a bifurcated trial and say juror data should be released within the statutory window before empanelment.
- The defense plans to argue lack of criminal responsibility, citing postpartum psychiatric illness and alleged overmedication.
- A July 20 trial start is set, and Clancy remains paralyzed and held at Tewksbury State Hospital after her 2023 suicide attempt; separate malpractice suits against her medical providers are pending.
