10:03 a.m.
After driving by the ThreeV restaurant in Plymouth and a CVS in Kingston, a bus carrying jurors and court personnel arrived at the Clancys’ former Duxbury home at 47 Summer St.
9:21 a.m.
Jurors are exiting the courtroom to head out for the view.
9:16 a.m.
Jurors just entered, and Sullivan asked them if they heard, saw or read anything that affected their service on the case. They each said there was not.
The judge is now delivering an instruction to jurors about the view. He told them what they see on the view can be considered in their deliberations at the end of the case.
9:07 a.m.
Judge William F. Sullivan asked to see the lawyers at sidebar before bringing the jury in.
Jurors will go on a view Friday morning, visiting the CVS and the restaurant Clancy’s husband went to on the night of the killings. Then, they will go to the Duxbury home where the children were killed, and have the opportunity to go inside and look around.
Lindsay Clancy will not be attending the view with the jurors, judge and lawyers.
After the view, jurors are expected to hear from doctors and nurses who treated Clancy at South Shore Hospital for injuries she sustained while attempting suicide after the killings.
Clancy’s injuries, and specifically their severity, are proving to be a hotly contested issue at trial. After killing the children, she cut her wrists and neck and jumped out of a second-story window.
Prosecutors have called the cuts “superficial,” noting that the wounds were not actively bleeding. Her defense lawyer, Kevin Reddington, appears to be trying to convince jurors she was seriously wounded. The suicide attempt left Clancy paralyzed, and she now uses a wheelchair.
On an abbreviated day of testimony Thursday, jurors heard from 10 first responders about the night of the killings.
Clancy, 35, is charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, 5; Dawson, 3; and Callan, 8 months.
