Clancy is scheduled to sit for another psychiatric evaluation next month. The parties are due back in May to discuss those results ahead of the trial, scheduled to begin in July.







PLYMOUTH, Mass. (Court TV) — A judge has denied a request to split Lindsay Clancy‘s upcoming murder trial into two parts, meaning it will proceed with a single phase this summer.

I would have been suprised had the Judge said yes. Has anyone seen this done in a previous trial anywhere? TIA.

Ive not seen it before in any case.

Its more common in specific contexts like insanity defenses, and less routine in MA in criminal murder trials.
Capital cases often use bifurcation for guilt vs penalty/sentencing phases (post-1970s reforms), but that’s distinct from guilt vs insanity.
