"She's not a danger to others, that's for sure. But she's surely a danger to herself,"
"I don't envy your job, because this is a nightmare,"
"This case is going to be a logistical nightmare."
"How's a person going to be able to go through the horrific emotion of this case for three to four weeks, on a daily basis, with these medical issues of significant concern?"
Lindsay Clancy allegedly strangled her children on Jan. 24, 2023, then paralyzed herself in a suicide attempt and now uses a wheelchair. Clancy remains committed at Tewksbury Hospital and has appeared remotely for hearings, but her July 20 murder trial will require physical transport and in-person appearances. The court is weighing vehicle and medical-accommodation options amid disputes over whether to use a hospital vehicle or a Plymouth County Sheriff's Office van. Defense cites significant suicidal ideation, need for around-the-clock supervision, assistance transferring from a wheelchair, possible stretcher use, and inability to use an accessible bathroom unassisted.
