The judge in the Lindsay Clancy murder case denied a motion by her lawyer asking to find his client not guilty in the deaths of her three children on Oct. 1. Judge William Sullivan found county prosecutors had presented enough evidence for any reasonable jury to potentially conclude beyond a reasonable doubt Clancy was responsible for the murders. [snip] Attorney Kevin Reddington told the judge in a hearing earlier this week that prosecutors had not provided proof that Clancy killed her young children, despite having previously argued that Clancy was not guilty by reason of insanity. The first trial ended in a deadlocked jury on Sept. 4. Reddington told the court his client seemed to have false memories of that night and any admissions she made were “uncorroborated.” He asked the judge to issue a finding of not guilty and throw the charges out because the state did not prove its case. [snip] Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz told reporters he has not yet decided whether to pursue a second trial following the mistrial. Cruz’s office didn’t immediately return a request for comment about the decision. During the first trial, prosecutors argued that, despite struggling with mental health problems, Clancy knew what she was doing when she strangled her children – ages 5, 3, and 8 months – and then tried to kill herself. [snip] Clancy’s case is ongoing and she remains charged with murder. She remains at a psychiatric hospital awaiting the resolution of her case. If convicted, she faces life in prison. She could also be acquitted and ordered to be confined to a mental health facility for treatment. The next hearing in Clancy’s case is on Nov. 2, when the two sides will meet with the judge for a post-trial mistrial motion hearing to discuss whether prosecutors want to dismiss or retry the case.
