Lindsay Clancy's lawyer shifts strategy, demands acquittal
Clancy's defense lawyer now argues authorities failed to prove she killed her three children. This is a dramatic reversal from trial.
Lindsay Clancy's defense lawyer Kevin Reddington appeared in Massachusetts court on Tuesday. Reddington asked the judge to acquit her.
Reddington told the court there was not enough evidence that Clancy killed her three young children. Reddington's position marks a big shift.
During her trial, he admitted she killed them. But he argued she was not criminally responsible due to postpartum psychosis.
Clancy's trial ended in mistrial on September 4. The jury could not agree.
Prosecutors said Reddington's arguments had no merit. They said they have enough evidence.
Clancy remains in psychiatric care while prosecutors decide whether to retry her.
Why it mattersA major defense strategy change could affect whether Clancy faces retrial. It could determine her fate in the 2023 deaths of her three children.
AustraliaThe case has drawn significant following in Australia, and its next phase will be closely watched by Australian audiences.
