Lindsay Clancy’s trial for the murders of her three children in Massachusetts resumed Thursday with a 13th day of testimony.

You can watch the trial live from Plymouth Superior Court on CBS News Boston in the embedded video or on YouTube when court is in session.

Massachusetts State Police Sgt. Kyle Pavao, who once worked in the cybercrime unit, is the first prosecution witness on the stand. His testimony began around 9:45 a.m. He examined the Microsoft Surface Pro taken from Clancy’s home in early 2023.

He was asked, “Did your initial review of the extraction show a visit to a website entitled ‘suicide methods’ on Aug. 23, 2022?” “It did,” Pavao replied.

Judge William Sullivan said the jury may break early Thursday and there will be no testimony on Friday, so the jury will get the day off. Sixty-nine witnesses have testified so far as the prosecution gets closer to the end of its list.

Clancy, 36, has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the deaths of her three children, 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan, in their Duxbury home on Jan. 24, 2023.

Prosecutors Jennifer Sprague and Shanan Buckingham said Clancy planned the murders before faking a suicide attempt. Kevin Reddington, Clancy’s defense attorney, said she admits to killing her children, but noted she should not be held criminally responsible because she was overmedicated and suffering from postpartum psychosis.

Several jurors were seen crying Wednesday as autopsy photos were shown. Sullivan sent the jury out of the courtroom twice Wednesday afternoon as Clancy sobbed loudly during testimony about her children.

Clancy faces life in prison without parole if she’s convicted of first-degree murder. If the jury finds that she was not criminally responsible for the deaths of her children, she will be sent to a state psychiatric hospital in Massachusetts.
