Patrick’s lawyer has fired back and threatened possible legal action against social media influencers who claim he was the one responsible for the kids’ deaths, warning they “should understand that there will be consequences” for spreading “misinformation.”
Earlier this month, Howard Cooper of Boston’s Todd & Weld law firm put out a statement on Patrick’s behalf.
“Over the past months, Patrick Clancy and his family have been subjected to a relentless, escalating, and destructive defamation campaign,” Cooper said of his client, who found the bodies of his children in the basement after Lindsay sent him out of the house to run several errands.
After the murders, she reportedly jumped out a second-story window but survived. However, she was left paralyzed from the waist down.
“This campaign of misinformation has been launched and promoted by minor celebrities, so-called influencers, and outright conspiracy theorists who appear intent on boosting their own social media profiles and potential profit by publishing what they know to be outright falsehoods that Patrick was somehow involved in the death of his young children and other vile claims,” Cooper continued.
