The digest
During a pretrial hearing on January 7, 2026, the court convened to address critical logistical and medical considerations surrounding Ms. Clancey's appearance. The discussion, primarily between the judge, Attorney Jennifer Sprague for the Commonwealth, Attorney Chandler Buckingham, Attorney Kevin Reddington representing Ms. Clancey, and Attorney Jessica Kenny from the Plymouth County Sheriff's Department, highlighted significant challenges in ensuring her safe and appropriate presence.
Initial Agenda and Commonwealth's Stance
The judge opened the hearing by outlining the key discussion points: transportation and logistics, medical records and discovery, a Rule 17 motion, and other needed dates before the trial. He emphasized the need to understand the current situation, especially regarding transportation, which had been discussed previously in the context of an emergency. Attorney Sprague, representing the Commonwealth, confirmed that Attorney Kenny was en route to provide updates.
Attorney Kenny, upon joining, clarified the Sheriff's Department's position on Ms. Clancey's transport. She explained that previously, the department had been forwarded a writ of habeas corpus to bring Ms. Clancey to court. Due to Ms. Clancey being held without bail on murder charges, the request was routed through Tewksbury Hospital. Attorney Kenny initially believed the murder charges were the sole reason for this routing but learned that Tewksbury Hospital lacks the ability to transport or provide security for such transfers. The hospital had sent a note indicating that Ms. Clancey's medical information would follow, which it did via fax. This fax detailed some of her medical needs. Based on this, the transportation supervisor and the Health Services Administrator (HSA) reached out for more information to ensure all needs could be met.
