Lindsay Clancy is back in Plymouth Superior Court Tuesday for the first time since her high-profile Massachusetts murder trial ended in a mistrial due to a hung jury on Sept. 4. The hearing got underway just before 10 a.m.
Jurors in Clancy's trial were unable to reach a verdict after 36 hours of deliberations. A mistrial was declared, though Clancy's lawyer Kevin Reddington first filed an emergency appeal with the state's highest court. Reddington argued the jury should be further questioned after jurors accused the lone holdout of not following the judge's orders on reasonable doubt. The appeal was rejected and the mistrial became official. Plymouth District Attorney Tim Cruz has not yet said if he will retry Clancy.
Clancy has pleaded not guilty in the case. She remains charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of her children - 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan - in their Duxbury home in January 2023.
The prosecution argued that Clancy knew right from wrong when she strangled her children with exercise bands. Reddington has admitted Clancy killed her kids, but said she shouldn't be held criminally responsible because she was overmedicated and suffering from postpartum psychosis. Kevin Reddington argues for required finding of not guilty
Lindsay Clancy's attorney Kevin Reddington argued that Judge William Sullivan should issue a required finding of not guilty.
Reddington claimed that Clancy should be found not guilty because of "the total and complete lack of evidence to indicate to a rational juror" that she was guilty.
The defense attorney there is a "conundrum" when admitting a defendant is guilty in order to raise lack of criminal responsibility.
Reddington said that there is a judgement from the greater public that Clancy admitted to killing her children, so she must be guilty. He said that opinion has been expressed widely from politicians, "from President Trump all the way down." In addition, Reddington tried to show the judge that police did not properly investigate the crime scene. "There wasn't even a horrendous investigation, there was no investigation," Reddington said.
