Lindsay Clancy's lawyer now says there's no evidence she killed her children
Her lawyer says prosecutors lack proof she killed the children, after the defense previously argued postpartum psychosis and criminal irresponsibility.
- On Tuesday, defense lawyer Kevin Reddington argued there is no evidence Lindsay Clancy killed her three children, marking a significant departure from the defense's previous admissions during the high-profile murder trial.
- Earlier this month, the trial ended in a mistrial after seven days of deadlocked jury deliberation, when the 12-person jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict on the highly divisive case.
- Reddington called the original investigation "ridiculous," questioning the accuracy of hospital statements made by Clancy and asking, "Where is the evidence that she did this?" while citing the Latimore standard.
- Judge William Sullivan scheduled a Nov. 2 hearing to consider Reddington's motion and determine whether prosecutors will proceed with a retrial at Plymouth County Superior Court.
- This highly divisive case has gripped the public since Clancy was charged in 2023, sparking debates about maternal mental health and conspiracy theories surrounding events in the Boston suburb of Duxbury, Massachusetts.
