Commonwealth v. Clancy, August 21, 2026
FridayexpecteddefenseDay 18 of 18
Expected: the defense's psychiatric expert, then the defense resting.
Key points
- EXPECTED, NOT REPORTED. Written before the sitting opened at 9am; every line here is an advance expectation and may not survive contact with the day.
- Resnick would be the defense's criminal-responsibility expert on the McHoul question.
- If the defense rests, the burden framing does not shift: the Commonwealth still has to prove criminal responsibility beyond a reasonable doubt.
- Three Commonwealth rebuttal experts were flagged by ADA Sprague on 08-17.
