Lindsay Clancy’s ex wants distressing pics of kids and 911 call kept from public
The ex-husband of a Massachusetts woman who strangled her three children, then tried to kill herself, asked the judge keep sensitive evidence from public view.
Patrick Clancy, who has since remarried, also asked that the judge ban photos of his children, including images taken before their deaths, at the crime scene and during their autopsies, from being shown.
‘The potential harmful and everlasting emotional impact to Mr. Clancy and his family of any public dissemination of such graphic and sensational evidence and exhibits related to his three children is immeasurable,’ his attorney David Meier explained in the motion.
‘Likewise, the disrespect for the dignity and memory of the three child victims that would inherently be occasioned by such dissemination speaks for itself.’
Meier noted that Patrick is ‘not seeking to close the courtroom.’
‘Mr. Clancy seeks a narrowly circumscribed order limiting the recording, display, and disclosure by the media (or any other persons) of certain graphic and sensational items of evidence related to his three young children, which, if disseminated, would only serve to perpetuate the already severe emotional harm to Mr. Clancy and his family,’ he wrote.
The judge granted his request, so the evidence will be seen and heard in the court room, but not displayed on the live stream.
