Lindsay Clancys lawyer sets record straight after shock evidence claims at killer moms hearing
Lindsay Clancy’s lawyer set the record straight after making an apparent stunning reversal of his trial strategy when he suggested this week there was no evidence the accused killer mom strangled her three kids.Defense attorney Kevin Reddington, at a hearing Tuesday for the 36-year-old mother of three, appeared to backpedal on his trial tactic of not disputing that she killed the kids but claiming she was psychotic at the time.“Where is the evidence that she did this?” he asked the court, before insisting “This entire case is based on speculation.”“She was told what happened.She had no memory of what happened,” the lawyer added.
“There’s no evidence that she admitted that she did this.”Reddington said prosecutors still needed to reach a minimum bar of evidence to support the triple murder charges and claimed they failed to do so as he argued for the judge to make a required finding of not guilty — a motion he unsuccessfully tried twice at trial.“What I did was argued exactly what I argued in my closing to the jury, exactly what I argued in motions for required finding,” Reddington explained on “Hot Mics with Billy Bush.”“The government has to prove probable cause,” he continued.“If they can’t prove the guilt of the citizen based on their investigation that person is entitled to a not guilty regardless of what a defense may be.”“And this investigation was so horrific, so atrocious that it just defies, it boggles the mind why this investigation ended up the way it did, so I had to raise that issue on the motion for a required finding,” he said.The 75-year-old veteran defense lawyer said Tuesday that the DNA and fingerprint evidence was lacking, the timeline of the alleged crimes was unfeasible and the investigation was incomplete.Prosecutor Shanan Buckingham, however, said it was “laughable” to claim there wasn’t enough evidence in the case to show Clancy on Jan.
