Defense Pushes to Dismiss Clancy Case | Wilmington News
Description
Lindsay Clancy’s defense is pushing to have her triple-murder case dismissed entirely, arguing prosecutors failed to prove she was criminally responsible due to severe postpartum psychosis. Despite a mistrial last fall — where 11 of 12 jurors sided with not guilty — the defense now contends the evidence simply doesn’t meet Massachusetts’ high bar for proving intent and control during the killings. Medical experts, including prosecution witnesses, all acknowledged her mental illness; the defense insists this proves she couldn’t understand her actions or act otherwise. The DA hasn’t committed to retrying her, but the motion seeks to end proceedings before a second trial by challenging whether the prosecution even met its burden of proof on criminal responsibility.
