Patrick Clancy and new wife Rachel Danis' latest outing raises eyebrows; witness says they were 'visibly stressed'
Patrick Clancy was seen looking tense while talking to new wife Rachel Danis during a break in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial.
Lindsay Clancy's murder trial continued in Massachusetts on Friday, with the potential for a final day of witness testimony. Forensic psychiatrist Dr. Phillip Resnick, previously a key witness in the Andrea Yates case, testified for Clancy's defense. However, technical issues caused delays in Resnick's testimony.
Clancy, 36, is accused of murdering her three children - 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Callan - in their Duxbury home on January 24, 2023. She has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder.
The trial resumed after a brief break due to Resnick's technical difficulties. He explained that he had recently undergone surgery, which prevented him from traveling to Massachusetts for the trial. Judge Sullivan assured the jury that there would be a short pause to rectify the issue.
Clancy's defense claims she was overmedicated and suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time of the murders. Prosecutors argue that she planned the killings and staged a suicide attempt. If convicted, Clancy could face life in prison without parole. If found not criminally responsible, she would be sent to a state psychiatric hospital in Massachusetts.
