Lindsay Clancy’s lawyer asks the judge to spare her a second trial for killing her children

Defense attorney Kevin Reddington says six experts agreed Lindsay Clancy had a serious mental illness, and a dismissal would bar a second trial.

  • Defense Attorney Kevin Reddington filed a motion Thursday asking Judge William Sullivan to enter a required finding of not guilty for Lindsay Clancy, with a status hearing scheduled for Sept. 29.
  • Judge Sullivan declared a mistrial on Sept. 4 after jurors deliberated more than 38 hours and failed to reach a unanimous verdict on whether Clancy was criminally responsible for the 2023 killing of her three children.
  • The jury reached an 11-1 split during deliberations, with one holdout juror refusing to deem Clancy not guilty despite 11 others siding with the defense.
  • Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz stated, "Children were murdered and it's our job to seek justice," while Reddington remains open to discussing a plea deal with the prosecution.
  • Prosecutors now face decisions on whether to retry Clancy or pursue a plea agreement, with experts suggesting the case could alternatively lead to civil proceedings for involuntary commitment if a second trial fails.
