Lindsay Clancy jurors visit crime scene in Karen Read-style move to test timeline: Retired judge

Fox News · 4 hours ago

Jurors in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, a Massachusetts woman accused of killing her three young children, were taken to view the family's home in Duxbury as part of the proceedings. Retired Massachusetts judge and Boston College law professor Jack Lu said the site visit, comparable to a similar move in the high-profile Karen Read case, could help the panel assess the timeline of events on the day of the killings, including the movements of Clancy's husband, Patrick.

The visit allowed jurors to see the property directly rather than relying solely on photographs, testimony or diagrams presented in court, potentially helping them judge distances, sightlines and how long certain actions would have taken. Lu explained that establishing Patrick Clancy's route and timing that day is a key element prosecutors and the defence are expected to contest. The case concerns the deaths of Clancy's three children, and the article includes a reminder that anyone experiencing suicidal thoughts can contact the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline on 988.
