In the Lindsay Clancy case out of Massachusetts, her defense teams pushing hard for access to the prosecution's texts, emails and notes, taking a cue from their high-profile Karen Reid trial. Clancy faces three counts each of murder and strangulation for the 2023 deaths of her kids, five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson, and seven-month-old Callen. Her trial kicks off July 20. The lawyer, Kevin Redington, filed a motion Thursday, wanting messages between prosecutors, witnesses, and doctors.
The Commonwealth pushback, saying no exculpatory evidence justifies handing over personal phone records. Judge William Sullivan's got it under advisement for now. Meanwhile, Redington's also demanding deed dives on the prosecution's medical experts, like their full-case histories, and how often they side with. Prosecutors versus defense.
Officials say they've already shared resumes and that the defense can dig themselves. Sullivan called it beyond the norm and hinted at needing neutral disclosures. This all comes as Clancy, now partially paralyzed after jumping from a second floor window post-incident, sits in Tubesbury State Hospital. She's pleaded not guilty despite offering a stipulate to the deaths in a bit to split the trial, which the judge has denied twice.
She's also suing doctors for botching her post-partum treatment. With the clock ticking toward July 20, these pre-trial battles could shape how the mental health angle plays out, keeping everyone watching this. Tragic case unfold. From your city, powered by AI, what 10?
