Clancy Lawyer Disputes Testimony Claims In Suit

Lindsay Clancy's attorney is pushing back against her ex-husband's legal team over whether she will testify in a civil suit, denying she ever agreed to describe homicidal thoughts to a court.

During a hearing Wednesday in Norfolk County Superior Court, attorney Howard Cooper, who represents Patrick Clancy, told the court he expects Lindsay Clancy to testify in the lawsuit Patrick Clancy filed against her healthcare providers. Cooper said he believes she will speak about statements she made to those providers.

Kevin Reddington, who represents Lindsay Clancy, issued a statement saying his client never agreed to testify and never told her providers she had homicidal thoughts about her children. "Lindsay Clancy never told any of her healthcare providers that she harbored homicidal ideation toward her children," Reddington said. "She never indicated that she intended to testify in Mr. Clancy's lawsuit, and no one acting for her ever represented that she would." He added: "Mr. Clancy's counsel does not speak for Lindsay Clancy."

Both Patrick and Lindsay Clancy have filed suits against hospitals and healthcare providers, claiming that lapses in her medical care contributed to the deaths of their three children: Callan, Cora and Dawson. Attorneys for the hospitals and providers have asked a judge to dismiss the cases, arguing Lindsay Clancy never disclosed homicidal thoughts to those who treated her.

Clancy, 36, faced three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of the children, all under age 6, who were found strangled at the family's home in January 2023. Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial on Friday, Sept. 4, after jurors failed to reach a unanimous verdict, with the panel dividing 11-1.
