The judge in Lindsay Clancy’s murder case has refused to declare her not guilty, rejecting the defense’s claim that there wasn't enough evidence to prove she was responsible for killing her three children.

Summary AI · cited

Lindsay Clancy's legal team and prosecutors agreed to delay a motion by defense attorney Kevin Reddington to investigate the lone holdout juror in her mistrial.1

Clancy's attorney argued that there was insufficient evidence presented at trial for a rational jury to find her guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, and requested the judge declare her not guilty.23

Judge William Sullivan denied Clancy’s motion, stating that prosecutors had provided sufficient evidence for a jury to find her responsible for killing her children despite mental illness claims.45

There is, Reddington contended, not enough evidence “that this woman killed those children.”

Prosecutor Shanan Buckingham called his argument “laughable,” pointing to various evidence raised during the trial.
