Lindsay Clancy appears in court for first hearing since September mistrial

Lindsay Clancy attended a court hearing on Tuesday, marking her first appearance since a mistrial was declared in September. Her lawyer, Kevin Reddington, asked the judge to consider a verdict of not guilty and introduced a new argument that the prosecution had not presented enough evidence to prove she killed her children. Prosecutors responded that the state had satisfied its burden of proof. Both sides objected to the judge’s suggestion of setting a date for a possible retrial, saying that several legal issues must be resolved first.

"The state has met its burden in proving Ms. Clancy's guilt," a prosecutor said during the hearing.

"We contend there is insufficient evidence to support a conviction," Mr. Reddington asserted.
