Lindsay Clancy’s lawyer just stood in a Plymouth courtroom and asked the judge where the evidence is that she killed her three children. Cora was 5. Dawson was 3. Callan was 8 months. In January 2023 their father, Patrick Clancy, came home from errands and found them on the basement floor with exercise bands around their necks. Lindsay Clancy was in the yard after jumping from a second-floor window. She was charged with three counts of first-degree murder. At trial the defense was not criminally responsible — postpartum psychosis, a voice telling her to kill the children and herself — because the judge would not split guilt from insanity. Kevin Reddington said it himself: they had to admit culpability to raise criminal responsibility. A six-week trial ended September 4 in a mistrial after the jury hung. On September 29 he flipped. “Where is the evidence that she did this?” No real investigation, he said. Speculation. She was told what happened. She had no memory. Prosecutor Shanan Buckingham called that laughable and reminded the court that at trial the defense objected on the grounds that she admits she did this. Judge William Sullivan was not ready to rule. Both sides said it was too soon to set a second trial. Next date is November 2. Reddington says his caseload means he cannot try it before June 2027. Three kids. A hung jury. A new theory. And a calendar that runs into the summer after next.Pat also covered: Jack Smith went back to Congress and told the same January 6 story. When does he answer for it? Alaska just picked its fattest bear. 89 Backpack took Fat Bear Week, 103,334 votes to 98,253. Did SpaceX just livestream a UAP during a Starlink deploy, or was that the booster plume? President Trump and the SI bosses agreed to internal controls on cyber and bio risk. The resignation question is running ahead of the facts. Trump's plan this month is a 32-day midterm tour, not an exit.Did the “no evidence” line survive five minutes of what the husband walked in on? Yes or no.
