Lindsay Clancy's defence is now questioning whether prosecutors proved she killed her three children at all, marking a sharp shift from the strategy used during her first trial. Lindsay Clancy's lawyer has made a striking new argument after her murder trial ended in a mistrial, questioning whether prosecutors proved she killed her three children at all — an argument the prosecution dismissed as 'laughable'.
Kevin Reddington raised the issue on Tuesday during Clancy's first court hearing since a Plymouth Superior Court jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict on 4 September. During the six-week trial, the defence did not dispute Clancy's involvement in the deaths of five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson and eight-month-old Callan at the family's Duxbury, Massachusetts, home in January 2023. Instead, her lawyers argued she was not criminally responsible because of severe mental illness, including what the defence described as postpartum psychosis.
