Quick Summary

During a hearing on Wednesday in Norfolk County Superior Court, Lindsay Clancy’s lawyer denied claims by her ex-husband Patrick Clancy's counsel that she would testify about having homicidal thoughts toward their children. Kevin Reddington stated that Lindsay never told healthcare providers of such thoughts and disputes the idea that she will testify as claimed by Howard Cooper, Patrick’s attorney. The case involves civil suits from both parties against hospitals and health care providers over alleged failures in medical care leading to the deaths of their three children in January 2023.
