Police officers testifying in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy describe responding to a Massachusetts home after an emergency call placed by her then-husband, Patrick Clancy. Officers say they first encountered Clancy outside the home after she jumps from the second floor, drifting in and out of consciousness in the snow. Witnesses in court recount that, within minutes of arriving, officers moved toward the basement after Patrick Clancy screamed that all three children were dead and that he could not wake them up.
Testimony also includes that the response involved police officers working alongside firefighters and paramedics. Jurors hear accounts of the immediate aftermath of the call, including the frantic statements made by Patrick Clancy as first responders attempted to locate and respond to the children. The accounts presented focus on the sequence of events from Clancy’s fall and medical condition at the scene to the officers’ rapid shift to the home’s interior after her husband reported the deaths.
