- Judge William Sullivan denied the defense motion to move proceedings to Suffolk County, concluding the trial will remain in Plymouth Superior Court.
- A status conference is set for Jan. 27, 2026, with a final pretrial hearing listed for July 13, 2026.
- Logistics for transporting and accommodating Clancy are unresolved as she remains at Tewksbury State Hospital and uses a wheelchair; the judge plans to issue a transportation order after further input.
