On Tuesday, September 29, as Lindsay Clancy and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, returned to the court in Plymouth, Massachusetts for a status hearing, two major surprises emerged.
The proceedings mostly centered around Kevin Reddington’s motions the mistrial verdict. The first major surprise in Tuesday’s proceedings came from the prosecutor, who asked Judge William Sullivan to impose a gag order, preventing stakeholders in the case from making comments about it in the media. Clancy returned to the court for the first time on Tuesday since the September 4 mistrial in the triple-murder trial. Reddington’s argument came as he pushed for a Rule 25 motion asking the Judge Sullivan for Clancy’s acquittal.
The second came from Kevin Reddington, who argued that there is “no evidence” that Lindsay Clancy killed her three children.
But it was a complete U-turn in the defense’s stance, as Reddington previously argued around Clancy’s postpartum psychosis diagnosis without disputing that she killed her three children.
In their filing Tuesday, the prosecutors argued that the remarks to the media got the case massive attention and they are trying to prevent that in the next hearing.
“In order to prevent the carnival atmosphere that was the trial between July 21, 2026, and September 4, 2026, as well as the aftermath since, this court can and should limit the extrajudicial statements made in this case,” they wrote in the court papers on Tuesday, per the New York Post.
