Clancy has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder regarding the deaths of her three children—Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months—who were killed in their Duxbury home on January 24, 2023. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington stated that Clancy was not criminally responsible because she was overmedicated and suffering from postpartum psychosis. Prosecutors argued that Clancy planned the killings and understood right from wrong when she strangled the children. The jury is reviewing more than 200 pieces of evidence and testimony from 85 witnesses. Reddington expressed confidence in the jury's diligence. He also criticized the media coverage of the trial, specifically challenging legal analyst Nancy Grace to provide evidence of Clancy ever saying or searching for the phrase 'How to kill.'
