Inside hospital holding wheelchair-bound Lindsay Clancy where cops are called 1,000 times a year after security scandal

Prosecutors argue Clancy deliberately sent her then-husband Patrick out to collect medicine and dinner so she could be left alone with the children.

The trial began with Patrick on the witness stand, describing Clancy’s declining mental health before recounting how he returned home, found her injured outside and discovered the children in the basement. Jurors have since heard his harrowing 911 call, seen the bands that were removed from the children’s necks and viewed their pajamas and other evidence from the home.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

• Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial is expected to last between six and eight weeks, meaning testimony could continue well into September.
• Proceedings are scheduled to begin at around 9am ET on sitting days and normally continue through the afternoon, with morning, lunch and afternoon breaks.
• Prosecutors will present their case first, calling first responders, police officers, investigators, medical professionals and other witnesses connected to the killings.
• The state listed more than 180 potential witnesses, although prosecutors are not expected to call everyone named.
• Jurors are also expected to visit the Clancy family’s former Duxbury home with the judge and lawyers to see the scene for themselves.
• Once prosecutors rest, Clancy’s defense will begin calling its own witnesses, including people who knew her and experts expected to testify about her medication, mental health and alleged postpartum psychosis.
• The defense listed more than 60 possible witnesses, but some overlap with the prosecution’s list and may not be called twice.
• After both sides finish presenting evidence, lawyers will deliver closing arguments before the judge instructs jurors on the law.
• The jury will then decide whether Clancy is guilty of murder or was not criminally responsible because of her mental state when she killed her children.
