Patrick Clancy speaks for first time since July testimony in 60 Minutes interview
Patrick Clancy has spoken publicly for the first time since testifying in July, in a joint interview with his new wife, Dr Rachel Danis, for 60 Minutes.
The interview airs on Sept. 20 at 7 p.m. PT/ET on CBS, according to The Hollywood Reporter. That slot covers the evening network broadcast on both coasts. It is Clancy's first public remarks since he took the stand in July in the murder trial of his ex-wife, Lindsay Clancy.
That trial was a Massachusetts case, as reported by The Guardian. It ended in a mistrial, meaning the proceedings finished without a verdict. Clancy had given evidence during the July hearings before the case closed in that way.
In the 60 Minutes conversation, Clancy discusses his grief and his memories of his children. He speaks in personal terms about loss. He also addresses baseless conspiracy theories that flooded social media around the case.
Mental health is another part of the discussion. Clancy reflects on what he understood at the time and the choices he faced. “I think I did the best I could,” he said, with the information he had at the time, in a clip publicised by CBS News.
That short sentence carries much of the weight of the interview. He does not present it as an explanation for others. He frames it as his own assessment of his actions.
Viewers will hear from Danis for the first time in the Sunday programme, according to CBS Boston. She appears alongside Clancy throughout the joint interview. Those who recognise the case from earlier coverage will hear her perspective in this account for the first time.
For viewers planning to watch, there is a straightforward broadcast route and several streaming routes. The live broadcast is on CBS at 7 p.m. The same live feed is available through live-television services DirecTV, Fubo and Hulu + Live TV, which carry broadcast channels over the internet.
Paramount+, the streaming home of CBS programmes, offers two organised options. A Paramount+ Premium subscription carries the CBS live feed, so the episode can be watched as it airs. A Paramount+ Essential subscription makes the episode available the following day.
