Attorney Jacqueline Goodman recently joined LiveNOW from FOX’s Shawna Khalafi to discuss the latest developments in the Lindsay Clancy case and the next steps Clancy’s defense team is seeking following her mistrial.

Clancy’s attorney has asked a Massachusetts judge to find her not guilty by reason of insanity in the deaths of her three young children. The request comes after her murder trial ended with a deadlocked jury, with 11 of the 12 jurors reportedly prepared to acquit her.

During her appearance, Goodman discussed the defense team’s latest legal strategy and what could happen next in the high-profile case.

Defense Seeks Acquittal Following Mistrial

Clancy’s attorney, Kevin Reddington, filed a motion asking the court to find his client not guilty by reason of insanity, which would prevent prosecutors from trying her for murder a second time.

The defense has not disputed that Clancy killed her three children—5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan—in the family’s Massachusetts home in 2023. Instead, Reddington has argued that Clancy was experiencing postpartum psychosis and was not criminally responsible for her actions.

In his latest filing, Reddington argues that prosecutors failed to establish that Clancy was legally responsible for the killings.

Mental Illness at the Center of the Case

According to Reddington, psychiatric experts for both the prosecution and defense agreed that Clancy was suffering from a mental illness, although they differed over the specific nature of her condition.

Prosecutors argued during the trial that Clancy understood what she was doing, pointing to her actions before the killings—including driving, planning a birthday party and taking her daughter to a doctor’s appointment—as evidence that she was capable of carrying out everyday tasks.

The defense maintained that those actions did not establish that Clancy could appreciate the wrongfulness of her conduct or conform her behavior to the law at the time of the killings.

What Happens Next in the Lindsay Clancy Case?

The court must now consider the defense’s request for an acquittal. If the motion is granted, a finding of not guilty by reason of insanity would prevent another murder trial. If the motion is denied, prosecutors could seek to retry the case.
