"Describing the pretrial process as "discovery-intensive," defense attorney Kevin Reddington noted Clancy's case involves several expert witnesses who will need to evaluate the 35-year-old and prepare reports of their findings. "We've just got an awful lot of stuff we have to accomplish," he told Judge William Sullivan."
"Speaking in court Tuesday, Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Sprague agreed with Reddington's request for another delay and said prosecutors could be ready to try the case by mid-to-late June. Sullivan, however, expressed concern about a June trial spilling into summer vacation season. "What I don't want to do is have a date, and we get ready for trial, and then somebody says, 'I'm going to Truro,' or 'I'm going to the Finger Lakes,' or 'I'm on vacation,'" he said. "It's always a concern in the summer," Sprague acknowledged, adding that jury selection will likely take some time."
"The next status conference in the case will be held Jan. 27, a little more than three years after Clancy allegedly strangled her children at home in Duxbury before severely injuring herself in a suicide attempt on Jan. 24, 2023. She has pleaded not guilty to three counts each of murder and strangulation in the deaths of 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Callan Clancy."
A Plymouth Superior Court judge denied a defense motion to move Lindsay Clancy's trial to Suffolk County despite intense media coverage. The judge reset the murder trial to begin July 20, 2026, after defense counsel cited a "discovery-intensive" pretrial process requiring multiple expert evaluations and report preparation. Prosecutors agreed to the delay and indicated possible readiness by mid-to-late June, but the judge raised concerns about summer vacations affecting jurors and schedules. The next status conference is set for Jan. 27. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts each of murder and strangulation in the deaths of her three children on Jan. 24, 2023.
