Lindsay Clancy’s Retrial Could Be Years Away — What Happened at Her Latest Court Hearing?

PLYMOUTH, Mᴀss. — Lindsay Clancy’s defense stunned the courtroom Tuesday during the killer mom’s first hearing since her trial ended with a hung jury earlier this month.

Arguing that murder charges against Clancy, 36, should be dismissed, bulldog attorney Kevin Reddington claimed, for the first time, that there is a “total and complete lack of evidence” that she killed Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months old.

During the grueling and graphic trial that dragged on for nearly two months this summer, Clancy formally agreed to a set of facts in the case — including that she did fatally strangle her young children.

Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz has not yet revealed whether he plans to refile murder charges against the former labor and delivery nurse. During Tuesday’s hearing, Judge William Sullivan — slamming his fist on the bench — said he’s “trying [his] best to move this thing along,” and scheduled a follow-up hearing for Nov. 2.

If Clancy faces a second trial, Reddington said at today’s hearing that June 2027 is the soonest he’s available.

PLYMOUTH, Mᴀss. — Attorneys preparing to argue Lindsay Clancy’s civil lawsuit against the doctors and hospitals that treated the postpartum mom prior to her strangling her children spoke to The Post after today’s hearing in the criminal case:

Kevin Reddington, Lindsay Clancy’s attorney, was bombarded by press as he walked to his car after today’s hearing.

Reddington stopped walking briefly, pausing to tell the media he’s not to blame for any backlash the lone wolf juror, Michael P. Desronvil, faces after the panelists forced a mistrial in the killer mom case.

“It’s not my fault that the jury deals with this guy, from Houston, who is not a serious person, who ends up making statements repeatedly, continuously, just fanning the flames, to hear himself talk, and keeps talking about the jury as he’s looking at $400,000, apparently, from his GoFundMe, going on ‘Hannity’ making statements — please.”

Reddington was careful not to refer to Desrevil by name after prosecutors filed a motion Monday asking for a gag order on the defense attorney.

“I am not attacking anyone,” the attorney told reporters.

“And I’m really tired of it.”

Lindsay Clancy cracked a smile — albeit a closed-mouth one — during her hearing Tuesday

Surprising moment of levity at Lindsay Clancy hearing — as defense makes court LOL

By Georgia Worrell and Kaydi Pelletier

PLYMOUTH, Mᴀss. — There was a rare and fleeting moment of levity during Tuesday’s hearing, when defense attorney Kevin Reddington made the court laugh.

As Judge William Sullivan worked with Reddington and prosecutors to set a date for the next hearing in Lindsay Clancy’s case, the justice made clear that motions filed by both sides need to be argued before he could set a retrial date.

When Sullivan asked Reddington if he agreed, the bulldog defense attorney replied, “Believe it or not I do.”

People in the room laughed out loud.

Sullivan then told the court that his “goal is to get this tried as soon as possible… not to get it kicked down the road.”

“I’m not kicking anything,” Reddington joked — again drawing audible giggles from the court.

Lindsay Clancy’s hearing just wrapped up, and a new trial date hasn’t been set yet.

She is due back in court on Nov. 2, when the judge said both sides need to be prepared to pick a date for the retrial.

Lindsay Clancy’s lawyer, Kevin Reddington, told Judge William Sullivan he wouldn’t be ready to retry his killer mom client until June, the earliest.

Reddington made the statement after Sullivan tried to put a new trial date on the books and both Reddington and prosecutor Jennifer Sprague asked him to hold off.

“My goal is to get this thing tried as soon as possible,” Sullivan said. “I don’t want this thing to get kicked down the road, get punted.”

“I can’t do a trial before June,” Reddington said.

Sullivan told both sides to be prepared to pick a trial date at the next hearing on Nov. 2.

Judge William Sullivan said he would consider whether to make the jury notes public from the first trial.

It came after Lindsay Clancy’s lawyer argued they should be made public, and prosecutors argued against the notes being revealed.

Sullivan will rule at a later date.

Prosecutor Shanan Buckingham called out Lindsay Clancy’s lawyer, Kevin Reddington, for apparently backpedaling the killer mom’s previous admissions that she killed her kids.

Buckingham pointed out at trial that Clancy didn’t contest that she killed Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, but rather argued she couldn’t be held criminally responsible because she was in the throes of severe postpartum psychosis at the time.

“Now, for the first time, the defense is arguing that there is no evidence that she did this,” Buckingham said.

Earlier, Reddington claimed there was a “total and complete lack of evidence” that Clancy killed her children.

Lindsay Clancy’s lawyer, Kevin Reddington, has begun arguing that Judge William Sullivan should find his killer mom client not guilty.

Reddington blasted a “total and complete lack of evidence” presented by the prosecution of Clancy’s guilt.

“I ask the court to look back at the evidence presented and ask yourself, where is the evidence that she did this?” Reddington said.

The defense attorney blasted the lack of DNA evidence, lack of fingerprints, and a “horrendous investigation” in her case.

“There is not enough evidence that this woman killed her children,” Reddington said.

Judge William Sullivan set the next hearing date for Lindsay Clancy on Nov. 2.

“I’m trying to move this as fast as we can,” Sullivan said, as he slammed his fist on the bench.

Lindsay Clancy was sitting in the courtroom looking straight ahead as she awaited the start of the hearing.

At one point, Clancy, wearing a plum colored short-sleeved top, spoke with her lawyer, Kevin Reddington, at the defense table.
