The documentary record in this case is much thinner than the video record. Massachusetts does not publish criminal filings online, and the great majority of what was filed in Commonwealth v. Clancy has never been posted anywhere. What follows is what is genuinely available.
These are the Commonwealth's own contemporaneous announcements, and the closest thing to an official public record of the charging decisions.
Unsealed in October 2023, these are the warrants, supporting affidavits and evidence returns from the search of the Duxbury home. They are the single most substantial primary document in the case and the source of most of what was reported about the investigation.
The standard the jury was asked to apply is set out in the Massachusetts model jury instruction on lack of criminal responsibility, published by the Trial Court. It is the clearest available statement of the question that decided this case, including the allocation of the burden of proof to the Commonwealth.
The following were filed and ruled on, and none of them are available online:
The grand jury indictment of September 15, 2023.
The defense motion for a bifurcated trial, the Commonwealth's opposition, and the ruling of March 31, 2026.
The motions and rulings concerning The New Yorker's recordings and Lindsay Clancy's psychiatric records.
The motion for a mistrial argued on August 24, 2026 and the judge's denial
The expert reports of the psychiatrists and psychologists who testified, which in Massachusetts practice are ordinarily not filed publicly at all.
Getting them would mean going to the courthouse. The Massachusetts Trial Court's public portal at masscourts.org will show docket entries, but criminal cases cannot be searched by name online (only civil ones can) so the case number has to be obtained first. Document images for Superior Court criminal matters are generally not available remotely in any event. Hard copies require an in-person visit to the Clerk's office at Plymouth County Superior Court in Brockton, with copying fees set by the Clerk. Questions about the portal go to eAccess@jud.state.ma.us.
If you have obtained any of these filings and are willing to share them, please get in touch.
