- Separate papers ask to postpone the Feb. 9, 2026 trial date to May 11, 2026 or later to accommodate government psychiatric evaluations.
- The judge has not ruled on the venue request or the scheduling change.
- Clancy has pleaded not guilty, remains at Tewksbury State Hospital, and faces prosecutors’ allegations that she strangled her three children using exercise bands after sending her husband for takeout, while the defense signals an insanity defense tied to mental health treatment and claimed overmedication.
