On Day 12 (August 12), a therapist and doctors from the state medical examiner’s office testify, including graphic details of the children’s injuries/autopsies. Clancy becomes highly emotional (sobbing loudly), prompting multiple recesses.

• August 17, 2026 (Day 14 / start of Week 4): Proceedings resume Monday morning.
  • Final prosecution witness: Ian Whiffin (Cellebrite digital intelligence specialist) testifies about data extracted from Clancy’s iPhone and Apple Watch (including heart-rate readings ending around 5:23 p.m. on the day of the killings, stair-climbing data, steps, and searches such as “ketamine for suicidal ideation” and “symptoms of postpartum psychosis”).
  • Prosecutors rest their case (around late morning). Defense attorney Kevin Reddington moves for a directed finding of not guilty (arguing the evidence already showed mental disease/defect); Judge William Sullivan denies it.
  • Defense begins its case:
    • First witness: Margaret (Meg) Hamp, Clancy’s former labor-and-delivery nurse coworker at Mass. General — described her as kind, compassionate, a devoted mother who sought parenting advice and once called police for a welfare check on her child while on a night shift; also recalled Clancy becoming emotional upon hearing about the Andrea Yates case.
    • Allison Ozga (Clancy’s sister): Testified about Clancy’s declining mental health (numbness, hopelessness, daily suicidal ideation in late 2022), hospital stay, and appearance of “going through the motions” at Cora’s birthday party in January 2023.
    • Paula Musgrove (Clancy’s mother): Described Clancy as a loving, fun mother; detailed the onset of anxiety/insomnia around October 2022 (including a text pleading “I’m really sick, something is wrong… I don’t want to be alone”); noted Clancy said medications were “destroying her mind”; and recounted Clancy disclosing thoughts of harming the children in December 2022 while with her and Patrick (Patrick asked if she felt she couldn’t be alone with them; she said no). Cross-examination covered texts showing some reported improvement and daily check-ins.
    • Dr. Michael Vulfovich (emergency medicine physician): Reviewed records/photos and described Clancy’s severe injuries after the window jump (neck/wrist lacerations consistent with self-injurious behavior, multiple spinal fractures including burst fracture, hypothermia, cardiac arrest, hemorrhage, massive transfusion, etc.).
  • Court ends early; testimony scheduled to resume Tuesday, August 18 at 9 a.m. EDT (Day 15), with the defense continuing.
