One more juror is needed for testimony to begin in the trial of the Duxbury mom accused of murdering her three young children.
Through three full days of jury selection in the Lindsay Clancy trial, 17 jurors have been seated on the panel, with five more being selected on Wednesday. The goal is 18 members.
Seven jurors were seated on Tuesday, following an initial five on Monday.
Opening statements and the beginning of testimony in the Clancy murder trial are expected on Friday.
Judge William F. Sullivan, presiding over the case at Plymouth Superior Court, is set to hold a hearing Thursday afternoon on whether sensitive evidence will be restricted from public display.
The request comes from Clancy’s husband, Patrick Clancy – the first name on the defense’s witness list who has been a staunch supporter of his wife through the proceedings thus far.
On Tuesday, Lindsay Clancy and her defense argued that “repeated testimony” from firefighters, EMTs and police from Duxbury, Marshfield and Pembroke would be “irreparably prejudicial.”
The defense, in a “motion in limine,” or for limited testimony, cites how the roughly 20 first responders listed in its request “testified in the grand jury to basically the same facts.”
“They were detailed to the Clancy home that evening and treated the defendant and the three deceased children,” attorney Kevin Reddington stated in the motion. “One of these witnesses can testify to the observations in the basement.”
Clancy faces three counts of first-degree murder for the January 2023 deaths of her kids Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, eight months. After killing her children, the woman tried to take her own life by jumping out of a second-story window.
Her defense has insisted that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis, a severe form of mental illness that can follow childbirth, instead of arguing against the facts of that night.
