Lindsay Clancy’s Attorney Said Prosecutors Did Not Prove She Actually Killed Her Children
Tim Cruz said his office is reviewing the mistrial record and transcripts before deciding whether to seek a new trial in the murder case.
- On Tuesday, Judge William Sullivan heard motions regarding a potential retrial for Lindsay Clancy, who admitted to killing her three children in January 2023; Sullivan issued no immediate rulings on the defense's request for a not-guilty finding.
- Jurors deadlocked 11-1 on Clancy's criminal responsibility after seven days of deliberations, prompting a mistrial declaration on Sept 4. Defense attorneys argued she suffered from postpartum psychosis; prosecutors maintained she was mentally competent.
- Arguing the prosecution's evidence was "woefully deficient," defense attorney Kevin Reddington requested a not-guilty finding. Prosecutors opposed, citing "voluminous" evidence that Clancy strangled her children in their Duxbury home.
- Plymouth District Attorney Tim Cruz stated his office is conducting a "very thorough review" to decide whether to pursue a second trial. The court scheduled a follow-up hearing for Nov 2 to address pending motions.
- Prosecutors also requested a gag order regarding defense comments about a "holdout juror," identified as Michael Peguy Desronvil. Reddington rejected the need for such orders, maintaining he is not responsible for public attention surrounding the juror.
