Lindsay Clancy jury to hear grueling testimony as medical examiner takes stand in kids’ murder trial – after family nanny’s bombshell revelations: Live updates

Lindsay Clancy is sobbing at the defense table as Dr Springer testifies about performing Callan’s autopsy on January 29, 2023.

Her head is bowed, with her long dark hair covering her face.and her shoulders shuddering. She has grabbed some tissues to wipe her eyes.

The first witness of the day is Dr Kimberley Springer.

Springer is the medical examiner who performed the autopsies on Lindsay Clancy’s children – Cora, five, Dawson, three, and Callan, eight months.

The jury who will decide Lindsay Clancy’s fate has now entered the courtroom.

Clancy is sitting in her wheelchair at the defense table dressed in a rose-colored blouse.

Her parents Mike and Paula Musgrove are also here. They have attended every day of their daughter’s trial so far in a show of support. They are joined by a defense expert and a family friend.

In the public gallery, there are fewer people here than yesterday – about 10 members of public and 20 members of the media.

Day eight of Lindsay Clancy’s trial is about to get underway in Plymouth County Superior Court, Massachusetts.

Today, jurors are expected to hear testimony from the medical examiner who performed the autopsies on Cora, Dawson and Callan.

The autopsy photos have been banned from public release at the request of the children’s father Patrick Clancy.

As a Massachusetts courtroom grappled this week with one of America’s most heartbreaking family tragedies, the father at the center of the case has quietly built a new life hundreds of miles away.

At the murder trial of former nurse Lindsay Clancy, jurors heard evidence about the deaths of her three young children, in a case that has sparked fierce debate over postpartum mental illness and criminal responsibility.

But while Lindsay, 35, fights for her freedom on an insanity defense, the Daily Mail can exclusively reveal that her former husband, Patrick Clancy, 38, has found love again and started over in New York City.

Forensic toxicologist Justin Brower said that all four drugs in Clancy’s body were at therapeutic levels and did not show levels that he would expect to see in a suicide case.

‘Usually people take handfuls of pills if they’re trying to kill themselves,’ Brower told the court.

When asked by prosecutors about the benzodiazepines found in her system, he found that they were also at therapeutic levels – meaning at levels they would be prescribed.

Some were even below therapeutic levels, he testified.

However, he pointed out that ‘you can’t do toxicology in a vacuum… you need other information.’

During day six of her murder trial, Clancy spoke for the very first time.

She agreed to a series of stipulated facts, including toxicology evidence and chain-of-custody matters.

The judge confirmed that she understood that the agreement waived her right to confront certain witnesses. The decision also allows the jury to accept those facts without additional testimony.

The primal, unearthly scream reverberated all around the packed courtroom.

It was a tortured, guttural wail unlike any sound I have ever heard before.

Over several excruciating seconds, Patrick Clancy continued to scream inaudibly. The only words discernible were cries of ‘Oh my god!’

Then came the four horrifying words that laid bare the unspeakable scene that the father-of-three had just walked into.
