Judge Denies Lawyer's Motion To Find Lindsay Clancy Not Guilty In Murder Of 3 Children

Authored by Jill McLaughlin via The Epoch Times,

The judge in the Lindsay Clancy murder case denied a motion by her lawyer asking to find his client not guilty in the deaths of her three children on Oct. 1.

Judge William Sullivan found county prosecutors had presented enough evidence for any reasonable jury to potentially conclude beyond a reasonable doubt Clancy was responsible for the murders.

"There was evidence introduced, both physical and circumstantial, that would permit a rational trier of fact to find beyond a reasonable doubt the elements of the charge of murder," Sullivan wrote in his ruling.

Attorney Kevin Reddington told the judge in a hearing earlier this week that prosecutors had not provided proof that Clancy killed her young children, despite having previously argued that Clancy was not guilty by reason of insanity. The first trial ended in a deadlocked jury on Sept. 4.

Reddington told the court his client seemed to have false memories of that night and any admissions she made were "uncorroborated." He asked the judge to issue a finding of not guilty and throw the charges out because the state did not prove its case.

Reddington declined to make a statement on the court's motion Thursday, his special adviser Daniel Nardo said in a post on X.

Clancy allegedly admitted guilt several times in January 2023.

Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz told reporters he has not yet decided whether to pursue a second trial following the mistrial. Cruz's office didn't immediately return a request for comment about the decision.

During the first trial, prosecutors argued that, despite struggling with mental health problems, Clancy knew what she was doing when she strangled her children - ages 5, 3, and 8 months - and then tried to kill herself.

In his ruling Thursday, Sullivan said it was up to the jury, not the judge, to decide whether to believe expert witnesses for the defense who testified that Clancy suffered from postpartum psychosis and was not responsible for her actions.

The judge declared a mistrial after the jury split 11-1 in favor of acquitting Clancy by reason of insanity.

Clancy's case is ongoing and she remains charged with murder. She remains at a psychiatric hospital awaiting the resolution of her case.

If convicted, she faces life in prison. She could also be acquitted and ordered to be confined to a mental health facility for treatment.

The next hearing in Clancy's case is on Nov. 2, when the two sides will meet with the judge for a post-trial mistrial motion hearing to discuss whether prosecutors want to dismiss or retry the case.

Trump Says "It's Possible" Iran War Could Cost Him November Midterms

Trump in Thursday remarks to the press said he was "ensuring that Iran will be very quickly ended," while claiming the Iranian theocratic government is "ready to fold up".

As far as a timeline, he stressed once again his view that the US will 'win' but it will be "right after the election." Around 9,000 more troops are headed toward the Middle East from San Diego, as the USS Roosevelt strike group newly deploys.

On the election front, Trump conceded something that his Republican party is not going to want to hear:

President Trump on Thursday said “it’s possible” that the Iran war could cost him the November midterm elections by risking Republican control of the House, Senate or both.

“Well, it’s possible. It should help,” Trump told reporters outside the White House before heading to a campaign rally in the Choctaw Nation in Oklahoma. “Because Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. So when you say, ‘Is it OK for Iran to have a nuclear weapon?’ I would say 100 percent of the people say no, including worldwide. So, when you say it that way, it would help. If you don’t say that, it could hurt.”

Republicans in Congress know this risk or likelihood too, and yet oddly they have overwhelmingly voted down every War Powers resolution.

Trump had earlier this month told GOP voters to act is if it is he that is on the ballot.

"I’m asking you to pretend that I’m on the ballot," he told the Republican National Committee’s midterm convention in Dallas. "Just one more time, because if we lose, you’re going to lose your border, you’re going to lose your tax cuts. You’re going to lose your safety and security. You’re going to lose your wealth."

He has since reiterated it while addressing large crowds of Republican voters...

In the meantime the White House keeps doubling and tripling down when it comes to the Iran conflict and Hormuz Strait standoff.

For example, despite warnings of dwindling defensive missile stockpiles, Washington has rushed more Patriots to the Gulf, as the region braces for more possible fighting between the US and Iran.

On Thursday Axios reported based on unnamed US officials that two additional Patriot missile batteries to Saudi Arabia and Qatar to help protect oil and gas facilities.

In the case of Saudi Arabia, it is now being hit also by the Houthis of Yemen, having suffered multiple drone attacks on refineries and the crucial East-West pipeline.

But sending more Patriots at a moment of a global shortage strongly suggests the White House plans to resume hostilities, after talks have essentially collapsed and there does not appear to be a deal shaping up anytime soon.

Axios underscored that the "U.S. wanted to reassure both allies that it would protect their key energy facilities in case President Trump decides to resume major combat operations against Iran."
