Lindsay Clancy's lawyer says there's 'no evidence' she admitted to killing her kids

TL;DR

  • Lindsay Clancy's lawyer, Kevin Reddington, argued there is no evidence proving she killed her children.
  • Reddington filed a motion for a required finding of not guilty, stating the evidence was legally insufficient for a guilty verdict.
  • This argument contrasts with Reddington's prior statements, including an opening statement where he said Clancy 'knows what happened' and an April motion where he offered to stipulate to her admitting to the killings.
  • Prosecutors expressed surprise at the new argument, noting the 'voluminous' record supporting Clancy's involvement.
  • Legal analysts described the strategy shift as 'bizarre' and 'very unusual'.
  • The move may be intended to pressure prosecutors against a retrial.
  • Plymouth District Attorney Tim Cruz stated a thorough review is underway to determine the next steps.
  • The next hearing is scheduled for November 2.
