Lindsay Clancy's lawyer now questions whether she killed her 3 children

Lindsay Clancy's lawyer is arguing that there wasn't enough evidence to prove she killed her three children. It's a striking turn after a lengthy trial that focused more on her mental state than on whether she took their lives.

Lindsay Clancy's lawyer now questions whether she killed her 3 children

Lindsay Clancy's lawyer, Kevin Reddington, has argued that there is no evidence to prove she killed her three children. This is a change in strategy after a lengthy trial that focused on her mental state.

At a status hearing, Reddington claimed there was a "total and complete lack of evidence" that Clancy killed her kids. The prosecution had previously sought a gag order due to juror media leaks.

Clancy was accused of killing her children, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and 8-month-old Callan, on January 24, 2023, in Duxbury, Massachusetts. According to the Jerusalem Post, it was not disputed that she strangled them with exercise bands and then attempted to end her own life.
