More defense witnesses will testify, a day after the prosecution rested its case after calling 72 witnesses in Plymouth Superior Court.

A full day of testimony is planned, according to Judge William Sullivan.

The first witness called by the defense Tuesday was Susan Clancy, Patrick Clancy's mother and Lindsay Clancy's ex-mother-in-law. Susan Clancy said she had a very good relationship with her former daughter-in-law.
