Moments later, Patrick Clancy could “be heard screaming in agony and shock as he found his children,” the prosecutor, Jennifer Sprague, would say. While she did kill her children, she shouldn’t be found guilty of murder, her lawyer, Kevin Reddington said. Ahead of the trial, the commonwealth also filed a motion to admit audio recordings of the 911 call Patrick Clancy made after returning home and discovering his family. During jury selection ahead of the trial, Reddington told the court Patrick and Lindsay Clancy have divorced, and Patrick has since remarried. “I wasn’t married to a monster,” he said in a 2024 interview after the deaths of his children.
