[00:01:08] A man described as very dangerous by state police was captured yesterday after a wild chase on the expressway in Boston during the height of the morning rush hour. Troopers were looking for an armed man they say was holding a pregnant woman hostage in a car when they spotted them about 7am in an infinity SUV on the northbound side of the expressway near Granite Avenue in Quincy. Video from the incident showed the car smashing into vehicles while weaving through traffic as it was followed by several troopers heading toward Milton. During the pursuit, the suspect's vehicle crashed into eight vehicles on the expressway before the driver attempted to flee on foot near exit 11. Troopers apprehended the suspect, facilitated medical care for the victim, who is a pregnant woman, and did recover a firearm from the suspect's vehicle.

[00:04:08] Jurors were sent out twice for recess as Clancy had emotional reactions to the testimony. 36 year old Clancy is charged with first degree murder in the deaths of her three children, five year old Cora, three year old Dawson and eight month old Callan in their Duxbury home in January of 2023. She has pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors Jennifer Sprague and Shannon Buckingham said Clancy planned the murders and faked a suicide attempt. Clancy's attorney Kevin Reddington said Clancy admits to killing her children but says she should not be held criminally responsible because she was over medicated and suffering from postpartum psychosis. Dr. Renee Stonebridge from the office of the Chief Medical examiner in Boston took the stand yesterday afternoon. She spoke about the injuries observed on the three Clancy children when the autopsies were performed. The direct questioning from the prosecution lasted less than 10 minutes and Reddington did not cross examine the witness. Clancy could be seen crying during the testimony. Judge William Sullivan said the attorneys told him the proceedings are well on schedule and somewhat ahead of schedule. If convicted of first degree murder, Clancy faces life in prison without parole. 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.
