Why Lindsay Clancy's Lawyer Reversed His OWN Defense

Kevin Reddington spent two months telling a jury Lindsay Clancy killed Cora, Dawson, and Callan in the family's Duxbury basement on January 24, 2023. He conceded the acts because that's how an insanity defense works — admit what happened, argue the person wasn't responsible. Lindsay herself stipulated to the physical evidence.

At the September 29 hearing at Plymouth Superior Court, Reddington told Judge William Sullivan the prosecution never proved Lindsay killed her children. He filed a Rule 25(b)(2) motion asking the judge to enter a finding of not guilty — arguing the evidence was legally insufficient. That motion, if granted, ends the case permanently.

He called the DNA evidence on the exercise bands "woefully deficient." He said Lindsay woke up in the hospital with no memory and was told by police what happened. He accused Duxbury police of assuming guilt from the moment they entered the house.

Prosecutor Shanan Buckingham called the argument "laughable" and pointed to the defense's own stipulations.

The defense also wants holdout juror Michael Desronvil investigated. Eleven jurors were ready to acquit on insanity grounds. Desronvil held out alone through seven days of deliberations. Other jurors accused him of using his phone and acting out one of the killings with resistance bands. Appellate attorney Martin Weinberg filed a 34-page double jeopardy motion arguing the mistrial should never have been declared without a juror inquiry.

Prosecutors filed a gag order motion. DA Tim Cruz told reporters he hasn't decided whether to retry the case. Sullivan pushed everything to November 2 and told both sides to come with a trial date. Neither side would commit.
