📌Commonwealth v Lindsay Clancy I’ve been WAITING for Peter Tragos’ take on what happened today during the cross of Susan Clancy and he did not disappoint. That questioning was absolutely jaw-dropping. Asking Patrick’s mother, the grandmother of Cora, Dawson and Callan, about her Catholic faith and whether she knew...

The most important thing to understand before closing arguments today is what Massachusetts law actually requires, because the legal posture of this case has been wildly misrepresented. The Commonwealth must FIRST prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Lindsay Clancy committed the alleged acts. Only then does criminal responsibility become the question. There is NO stipulation before this jury that Lindsay killed her children. Her plea is NOT GUILTY. Reddington has not conceded that she killed them either. You’ve probably seen his opening statement quoted as, “she knows that she killed these children.” Except that’s not what he said. His actual statement was, “And they would bring their evidence in front of a jury that she knows that she killed these children. We’ll sit here, listen to the evidence, but I suggest to you that the issue of consideration is what was going on in that woman’s mind.” He was describing what the COMMONWEALTH would attempt to prove. Cutting off the beginning completely changes the meaning. The civil filings don’t change this either. They are not evidence in this criminal trial and are not before this jury. Reddington twice sought to bifurcate the trial so whether Lindsay committed the acts and whether she was criminally responsible could be considered separately. The judge denied those requests. He also requested a Bowden instruction regarding deficiencies in the police investigation. The judge declined to give the specific instruction, but Reddington can still argue that those investigative failures create reasonable doubt during closing. This case has become a complete cluster of selectively edited quotes, legal misunderstandings, assumptions repeated as facts, and emotion substituted for evidence. Strip all of that away and the jury’s job is straightforward: What does the evidence actually prove? Has the Commonwealth proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Lindsay committed these crimes? And ONLY if it has, was she criminally responsible? Your feelings about Lindsay do not change the burden of proof. Cora, Dawson and Callan deserved a thorough investigation and a case proven with evidence beyond a reasonable doubt. Whatever this verdict is, I pray those three precious children ultimately receive the complete truth and justice they deserve.

📌 COMMONWEALTH v LINDSAY CLANCY TRIAL After the jury was dismissed today, the Commonwealth raised an issue about who has been signing in and out of the courthouse lockup to visit Lindsay, how often those visits are happening, and when they occurred. One person they specifically focused on was defense psychologist Dr. Paul Zeizel, who the Commonwealth believes has been visiting Lindsay frequently during the trial. Why does that matter? Because Dr. Zeizel may ultimately testify for the defense. The CW appears to be laying the groundwork to examine those visits and potentially question his ongoing contact with Lindsay, his role in the case, and his objectivity if he takes the stand. The Commonwealth also brought up a priest who has been visiting Lindsay. That immediately raised questions from Judge Sullivan about why the CW would need information about the priest. Kevin Reddington explained that the priest is Father Bob, someone close to Lindsay who baptized her children and has continued to visit her. And this is where Judge Sullivan drew a pretty clear line. He was not willing to simply turn over Father Bob’s visitation information because he has been visiting Lindsay. If the defense later decides to call Father Bob as a witness, the issue can be addressed at that point. Dr. Zeizel was treated differently. Judge Sullivan ruled that the Commonwealth can review the courthouse security records showing when and how often Dr. Zeizel has gone back into the lockup to see Lindsay during the trial. That distinction matters. This does NOT mean the Commonwealth gets access to what Lindsay and Dr. Zeizel discussed. It also does NOT mean anyone has established that Dr. Zeizel has done anything improper. Right now, they are getting information about the visits themselves. And I don’t think the timing is insignificant. Dr. Zeizel has already come up during testimony, including that strange theory about whether he told Lindsay to call Patrick and say she was hearing voices, a theory that the trooper ultimately acknowledged was speculation and apparently wasn’t actually investigated. Now the Commonwealth wants records documenting Dr. Zeizel’s contact with Lindsay while the trial itself is happening. To me, this looks like the CW is preparing for Dr. Zeizel before he ever takes the witness stand. And depending on what happens when the defense begins presenting its case, I have a feeling we haven’t heard the last of this issue.

The judge in Lindsay Clancy's trial today specially instructed jurors not to consider religion after a prosecutor asked Clancy's former mother in law if she knows the Catholic Church considers murder a "mortal sin." Susan Clancy, a labor and delivery nurse, testified as a defense witness. Assistant District Attorney Shanan L. Buckingham cross-examined her about Lindsay's condition in the months before she killed her three children on Jan. 23, 2024. She asked Susan near the end of the exam, "Are you an active member in the Catholic Church?" and Susan answered, "Yes." "So you're aware that murder is considered a mortal sin?" Buckingham asked. Judge William Sullivan interjected: "Counsel, can I see you over here?" The side bar lasted about 65 seconds. The courtroom camera didn't record the beginning of Judge Sullivan's instruction, but there's no way he didn't tell the jury anything other than not to consider the witness' religion when deciding the case. "And what that means is you are not to consider it for any reason or any purpose. Okay?" said Sullivan, who presides in Plymouth County Superior Court in Massachusetts. Buckingham is the lead prosecutor in the case against Clancy, who is charged with three counts of murder. Clancy's defense is that she's not guilty because she was experiencing postpartum psychosis and didn't understand her actions so can't be held criminally responsible. Buckingham has been a licensed lawyer in Massachusetts since November 2011. She earned her law degree from Northeastern University School of Law.
