A Massachusetts judge has partially granted a grieving father’s request to shield some of the most graphic evidence expected to surface at the murder trial of his now-ex-wife, who is accused of strangling their three young children inside the family’s home.
Plymouth Superior Court Judge William Sullivan ruled Friday that the media and public may not record, display, reproduce or distribute Patrick Clancy’s initial 911 call or autopsy photographs of 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan Clancy.
The evidence may still be presented to jurors during Lindsay Clancy’s trial, which is set to begin Monday with opening statements.
