Overview
- Jury selection for Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial is scheduled to begin on July 20, 2026, in Plymouth Superior Court with an 18-member panel expected to serve.
- Clancy is charged with three counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of her children on Jan. 24, 2023, and has pleaded not guilty while the defense plans a lack-of-criminal-responsibility (insanity) case.
- In a final pretrial hearing the judge denied the defense’s request to call other women who experienced postpartum disorders to testify, saying expert testimony will explain the condition.
- Prosecutors filed a notice of nolle prosequi to drop separate strangulation or suffocation counts as redundant, leaving the murder indictments intact and simplifying the charges jurors will consider.
- The trial is expected to be lengthy because of large witness lists and complex medical testimony, Clancy remains held at Tewksbury State Hospital and her husband is listed among defense witnesses.
