Lindsay Clancy’s lawyer has lost his third attempt to get the murder charges his accused killer mom client faces thrown out.
Judge William Sullivan denied a motion by Clancy’s lawyer, Kevin Reddington, to have three first-degree murder charges dismissed after the high-profile case ended in a mistrial on Sept. 4.
Reddington, 75, argued the motion in court Tuesday, questioning the evidence that the 36-year-old mom strangled her three young kids with exercise bands.
But Sullivan ruled in a decision Thursday that prosecutors had, in fact, presented sufficient evidence at trial of Clancy’s alleged crimes and therefore he couldn’t drop the charges.
Here’s the latest on Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial
At the six-week-long trial, prosecutors claimed Clancy coldly planned and executed the murders of her kids, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, in their Duxbury, Massachusetts, basement on Jan. 24, 2023.
But Reddington asked the jury to find her not guilty by reason of insanity, claiming she was experiencing extreme postpartum psychosis and heard a voice commanding her to kill the kids and herself.
