Lindsay Clancy lawyer erupts outside court as jurors deliberate fate of postpartum mom: Live updates
Updated:
Lindsay Clancy’s defense lawyer exploded outside the Plymouth County Superior Court on Monday as he slammed journalists for criticizing the postpartum mom’s case.
‘Mr Hannity, discussing every little inch of Lindsay’s symptoms, criticizing her,’ Kevin Reddington said, referring to conservative tv host Sean Hannity.
‘Nancy Grace, to coin a phrase, “Queen of Mean,” who misrepresents facts,’ he exclaimed. ‘I challenge Nancy Grace to show us where Lindsay Clancy ever Googled “how to kill.” These are the things that hurt people… If you’re going to be a journalist, do it right.’
Clancy is on trial for murdering her three children Cora, 5, Dawson, 3 and Callan, eight months, using exercise bands at her Duxbury, Massachusetts home in January 2023.
Jurors are now in their third day of deliberations. Reddington confirmed to the Daily Mail that the jury requested to see the two bags of pill bottles and the knife found by police on the night of the killings on Friday.
The defense argued that the former labor and delivery nurse was suffering from postpartum depression and psychosis brought on by overmedication, while prosecutors maintained that she was aware of and in control of her actions.
A jury of nine women and three men, who are non-sequestered, will decide if the Massachusetts mom is guilty of first degree murder, second degree murder or manslaughter, or if she is not guilty by reason of insanity.

Lindsay Clancy’s defense attorney hits out at media coverage of murder trial
Lindsay Clancy’s defense attorney Kevin Reddington had strong words for media covering the murder trial as he arrived at the courthouse on Monday.
‘Mr. Hannity, discussing every little inch of Lindsay’s symptoms, criticizing her,’ Reddington said, referring to conservative TV host Sean Hannity.
‘Nancy Grace, to coin a phrase, “Queen of Mean,” who misrepresents facts. I challenge Nancy Grace to show us where Lindsay Clancy ever Googled “how to kill.”
He continued: ‘These things hurt people. If you’re going to be a journalist, do it right. Be a Bob Ward. Be a Shelley Murphy. Do it right.’
Jury deliberations are set to resume today in the high-profile trial.
On the latest episode of The Crime Desk’s The Trial USA: The Trial of Lindsay Clancy podcast, host Kayla Brantley is joined by crime correspondent Rachel Sharp who has been in court every day covering the murder trial.
The trial has become a battle over whether or not Clancy should be criminally responsible for the death of her children with the defense and prosecution submitting opposing psychiatric assessments of the mother of three.
In this episode, we hear expert testimony from the defense which claims Clancy was out of control and could not understand the gravity of her own actions, the prosecution’s rebuttal and the fiery blows exchanged when a different expert claimed Clancy showed no signs of psychosis.
Verdict deliberations resume as jurors focus on crucial pieces of evidence
Lindsay Clancy verdict deliberations resume today after the jury failed to reach a decision following 10 hours of discussions.
During the trial, jurors were shown a bloody knife that Clancy used in an attempt to take her life, along with bags containing empty prescription pill bottles that were found in her house.
Clancy’s attorney, Kevin Reddington, said the jury asked to see the knife and bags of pill bottles during deliberations on Friday.
During his closing argument, Reddington held up a bag of empty pill bottles that he said he found in Clancy’s nightstand.
He argued it showed the police did not thoroughly investigate and questioned why they did not seize it as evidence.
