In an unexpected turn of events at the conclusion of a trial day that revealed new information regarding the Lindsay Clancy case, Clancy’s defense attorney identified the priest, Father Bob, who has been supporting Clancy throughout the trial and visiting her at the courthouse.
Clancy family and Holy Family Church ties
The Clancy family were members of Holy Family Church in Duxbury, where Rev. The Holy Family Church organized a prayer vigil for the Clancy family following the tragic murders. Robert Deehan was the pastor and baptized Callan Clancy just months prior to the tragic death of the 8-month-old, as reported by the Boston Herald.
The prosecution requested the judge to obtain records of individuals who had been visiting Clancy at the courthouse throughout the trial. Judge William Sullivan remarked regarding the priest’s records: “The priest, I’m struggling with. Father Bob is not expected to offer testimony. The judge’s decision does not suggest that Father Bob will be summoned as a witness for either party.
The judge consented to provide the prosecutors with information regarding visits from a forensic psychologist collaborating with Clancy’s defense, yet expressed hesitation about disclosing records pertaining to a priest identified as “Father Bob,” who had also been visiting Clancy. Kevin Reddington, Father Bob is a Roman Catholic priest who performed the baptisms of Clancy’s children and has offered her support since the tragic events occurred, according to Clancy’s defense attorney.
