New Facts: Judge delays Clancy trial to July 2026

Lindsay Clancy's trial for the alleged murder of her three children has been delayed to July 20, 2026, after a judge in Plymouth Superior Court granted the defense's request for more time to prepare.

The trial was originally scheduled to begin on February 9, 2026, but defense attorney Kevin Reddington argued that the case is 'discovery-intensive' and requires additional evaluations from expert witnesses, including government doctors and toxicologists.

Judge William Sullivan denied a separate motion from Clancy's defense to move the trial to Suffolk Superior Court in Boston, stating that the pretrial publicity had not made it impossible to find an impartial jury in Plymouth County.

This marks the third delay for Clancy's trial, which stems from the 2023 deaths of her three children, whom prosecutors allege she strangled before attempting to take her own life.

A status hearing is scheduled for January 27, 2026, to discuss further preparations and scheduling for the trial.
