Lindsay Clancy Asks to Move Murder Trial to Boston Over Pretrial Publicity

A judge will hear the venue request on Nov. 18 after the defense said Plymouth County coverage taints the jury pool.

Overview

  • A motion filed Monday asks Plymouth Superior Court to transfer the case to Suffolk Superior Court in Boston.
  • Attorney Kevin Reddington argues that pervasive and prejudicial media attention in Plymouth County threatens juror impartiality.
  • The defense also seeks to delay the Feb. 9, 2026 trial start to May 11, 2026 or later, and the judge has not ruled on the request.
  • Clancy has pleaded not guilty and remains at Tewksbury State Hospital following a 2023 suicide attempt that left her paralyzed.
  • Prosecutors allege calculated strangulations with exercise bands after she sent her husband out for takeout and cite seven medications found in her blood tests.
