New Facts: Defense Questions Evidence Against Clancy

At a post-mistrial hearing, defense attorney Kevin Reddington asked the judge to acquit Lindsay Clancy, arguing the evidence is not enough to show she killed her three children. He pointed to her being found badly injured and bleeding outside the home, her lack of memory in the hospital, and the absence of any admission. He offered no alternative explanation for the deaths.

Prosecutors said the trial record supports guilt. They cited DNA on the exercise bands found around the children’s necks and testimony from a hospital chaplain that Clancy said she had to kill them. They also argued she sent her husband out for medicine and dinner to create the opportunity and that she knew it was wrong.

The judge did not rule and set Nov. 2 to hear this and other defense motions. No retrial date was set, and prosecutors are still weighing whether to try her again on first-degree murder, pursue lesser charges, or drop the case.
