On the day of the incident, paramedic Robert Costanzo from the Pembroke Fire Department treated Lindsay Clancy after she jumped out of her home window in Duxbury. He noted her agitation but observed that she never regained consciousness. Despite administering Narcan, a drug used to counteract overdoses, Clancy did not wake up.
Defense attorney Kevin Reddington questioned Costanzo about Clancy’s condition, highlighting that Narcan had no effect. Reddington also challenged the depiction of Clancy’s neck and wrist injuries as superficial. During re-direct, prosecutor Jennifer Sprague emphasized Costanzo’s 18-minute examination of Clancy in the ambulance, where he did not observe any significant bleeding.
Testimonies from first responders detailed the injuries sustained by Clancy’s children, who died on the night of the incident. Firefighter Patrick Dwyer described finding 5-year-old Cora pale, while paramedic Jennifer Stratton immediately requested additional ambulances upon seeing Callan and Cora on the ground. Defense did not cross-examine these witnesses.
Fire Captain Keith Nette also testified, describing his involvement in CPR efforts for 3-year-old Dawson. EMT Loring “Chuck” Nudd recounted driving Dawson to the hospital, noting he was not breathing. He too experienced no cross-examination.
Paramedic PJ Hussey depicted a chaotic scene in the basement, where he found Patrick Clancy with one of the children’s heads wrapped. Hussey summoned additional Duxbury personnel to manage the situation. Defense did not question him further.
Earlier, Police Officer Stephen Hall described his arrival at the Clancy home, hearing Patrick Clancy’s cries for help as he discovered the children’s fate in the basement. Officer Brian Josephine also testified, recounting Patrick’s anguished outcry. Both were not cross-examined.
The trial continues with Lindsay Clancy facing severe consequences if convicted of first-degree murder, which could result in a life sentence without parole. If found not criminally responsible, she will be remanded to a mental health facility.
Jury members are scheduled to visit the Duxbury residence where the incident occurred. The visit, secured by police, will allow them to inspect designated areas of the property without disrupting any belongings.
The previous day in court, Lindsay Clancy became emotional as the 911 recording was played. Her ex-husband Patrick testified, recounting his discovery of the children’s deaths and his attempts at CPR before rescuers arrived. The trial is under the supervision of Judge William Sullivan, with Jennifer Sprague as the lead prosecutor and Kevin Reddington representing Clancy.
