Overview
- In a Norfolk Superior Court filing, Clancy’s attorney asked to move the 2026 start of trial to no earlier than May 11.
- The motion cites pending government psychiatric evaluations, consultations with a toxicologist and a psychopharmacologist, and the need to prepare substantive pretrial motions.
- Her legal team plans to pursue an insanity defense that argues she could not conform her behavior to the law at the time of the killings.
- Clancy remains held at Tewksbury Hospital receiving mental‑health treatment and is paralyzed and wheelchair‑bound after a 2023 jump from a second‑floor window.
- She has pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder; prosecutors allege the children were strangled with exercise bands and note seven medications detected in blood samples taken hours after the attacks.
