Day 5Aug 3, 2026prosecution
The journals read aloud, and the hospitals' account of that night
Lindsay Clancy Trial · The full record
Prosecutor Shanan Buckingham read excerpts from Clancy's journals aloud through Trooper Cory Melo, who seized them in the home search: 'I'm completely overwhelmed trying to take care of the three kids. I feel like I'm drowning every day.' Kevin Reddington read on from the same pages for the defense: 'I don't know what's wrong with me. I want help. I want to be well.' The rest of the day was the medical response: ER and ICU doctors from three hospitals, two Brigham nurses, two hospital psychiatrists who evaluated Clancy while she was intubated, and the troopers who took her blood and searched the house. — NBC Boston · The Boston Globe · Boston 25 News · Boston.com
