Patrick Clancy motion seeks to block 911 call, kids' photos

Key Points:

• Patrick Clancy has filed a motion to prevent the public and media from accessing his 911 call and photos of his three children taken before their deaths, at the crime scene, and during autopsies as the murder trial of his ex-wife Lindsay Clancy begins.
• Lindsay Clancy is accused of strangling her three children with exercise bands in January 2023, with prosecutors arguing the killings were premeditated based on evidence including her use of Apple Maps to track her husband's absence.
• The defense plans to argue that Lindsay Clancy suffered from postpartum psychosis, a rare condition causing delusions after childbirth, while prosecutors contend she was aware of her actions, citing her suicide attempt after the murders.
• The trial will have 18 jurors, including six alternates, an unusually large number according to defense attorney Kevin Reddington, and is expected to last four to eight weeks under the Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office.
• Patrick Clancy is expected to testify for the defense, has publicly forgiven Lindsay, and has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against her healthcare providers over the multiple medications she was prescribed prior to the killings.
