A judge on Thursday rejected her defense team’s request for a not guilty finding. Lindsay Clancy’s murder case is not over yet.
The ruling follows her first trial ending in a mistrial after the jury deadlocked. The motion argued there was not enough evidence to prove Clancy was responsible for killing her three children. Sullivan did not rule in court. Clancy’s attorney Kevin Reddington filed the motion after her seven-week trial ended in a mistrial last month. He asked the judge to find Clancy not guilty.
Judge William Sullivan said prosecutors had presented enough evidence for a jury to decide whether Clancy was responsible for the deaths of her three children. Judge William Sullivan turned down a defense motion on Thursday. He issued a written order on Thursday denying the motion.
After the hearing, he was asked if he was now saying that Clancy did not kill her children.
Reddington said Clancy never admitted to the killings. He also said there was no full investigation into the deaths. “They just immediately assumed that this woman was guilty,” he told the court Tuesday, as per CNN . Reddington’s argument appeared to differ from what he had said during the trial.
