• Lindsay Clancy Chaplain Details Emotional Hospital Encounter (lamag.com) — Lindsay Clancy remains hospitalized at Tewksbury Hospital, where a chaplain says she has visited her roughly 200 times and heard detailed accounts of grief and a persistent male voice. Jurors heard this testimony as lawyers sparred over how medications, mental illness, and possible intoxication should shape the jury instructions in the high-profile murder case. 
• Chaplain says Lindsay Clancy reported hearing 'voice' after killings (sentinelandenterprise.com) — A hospital chaplain testified that she continued meeting with Lindsay Clancy more than 200 times, including during her stay at Tewksbury Hospital, and repeatedly heard about a commanding male voice. Her account bolsters the defense's argument about Clancy's mental state as the judge weighs key jury instructions on criminal responsibility, intoxication, and possible lesser charges.
