Lindsay Clancy, Charged in Deaths of Three Children, Expected to Appear in Court in Person
DUXBURY, Mass. (Plimoth)— Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury mother charged with killing her three young children, is expected to appear in person at an upcoming court hearing, marking a notable change from several previous proceedings that were held remotely.
Clancy faces multiple charges, including first-degree murder, in connection with the January 2023 deaths of her children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months. Prosecutors allege the children were strangled inside the family’s Duxbury home.
Court records show that Clancy has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Shift From Remote to In-Person Appearance
In recent months, Clancy has appeared at hearings via video conference as the court addressed pre-trial motions, including requests to delay the trial and move it out of Plymouth County. Her anticipated in-person appearance comes as the case moves further into the pre-trial phase.
The defense has argued that intense local media coverage and public attention could make it difficult to seat an impartial jury in Plymouth County. As a result, Clancy’s attorneys have asked the court to consider moving the trial to Boston. A judge has not yet ruled on that request.
Trial Timeline Still Uncertain
The case has experienced multiple delays as both sides continue to review evidence and prepare expert testimony. Current projections indicate the trial may not begin until 2026, though that timeline could change depending on upcoming rulings.
Because of the high-profile nature of the case, court officials are expected to implement additional security measures for future hearings.
Community Impact
The case has had a lasting impact on the Duxbury community and across Massachusetts, drawing statewide and national attention. Proceedings continue to be closely watched as the court works through complex legal and procedural issues ahead of trial.
Clancy remains in state custody as the case proceeds.
