Summary
Lindsay Clancy’s lawyer asked a Massachusetts judge to enter a not-guilty ruling after the Sept. 4 mistrial, arguing a second murder trial should be bypassed.
Kevin Reddington said police had "no investigation" and that Clancy never admitted killing 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan, claiming she was told what happened after emerging from a coma.
Prosecutors said the insufficient-evidence claim is new and pointed to Clancy’s phone placing her at home, her DNA on exercise bands, and her reported hallucinations and voices telling her to kill the children.
Judge William Sullivan took the motion under advisement without ruling; prosecutors also sought a gag order over defense media interviews, and Clancy is due back in court Nov. 2.
