Judge William Sullivan denied a request from Lindsay Clancy's attorney to find her not guilty of murder following her first trial.
In a ruling Thursday, the judge said that evidence introduced by prosecutors was "sufficient" to justify sending the case to a jury.
Kevin Reddington, Clancy's attorney, had made the motion, known as a motion for a required finding of not guilty, numerous times throughout trial – including at the close of the prosecutors' case and the close of the defense's case. Each time it was denied, but as is custom, he renewed the motion following the declaration of a mistrial due to a hung jury.

Me too.
Don’t celebrate yet. This is Mass and the pressure to let her off somehow is enormous.
Flip Wilson knew a long time ago that the devil makes us do things
Well, I did say she should be killed, brought back, killed, brought back, and killed one final time.
I assume the confession came into play... I killed my children... Except... I’m not guilty and there’s evidence that I killed my children... Except of course... For my confession where I admitted killing my children.
These nonsensical excuses are becoming confusing... And that’s likely the strategy... Keep throwing out excuses and hope that one of them sticks to the wall.
“I suggest that Clancy be shipped to Tennessee to give the executioner something to practice on.”
That’s a good idea!
It’s incredible (becomes incredulous!) when listening to the femiNazis talk now about how Patrick Clancy killed the children and framed Lyndsey.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
“During the trial, everyone admitted she had committed the murders, now they are trying to cast doubt.”

The prosecution didn’t present evidence that was beyond a reasonable doubt that she had done so. With a hung jury at 11 to 1 for acquittal last time, you’d expect the defense to present a much more aggressive stance at the 2nd trial, if there is one.
Lazy prosecutors built the case around her confession, which may be invalid because of her mental condition, and didn’t build the rest of it.
The state should do a stipulated agreement with Clancy in which she is remanded to a hospital for the criminally insane for the rest of her life. That gets here where she needs to be.
That county in Tenn is one of the few that are run by Democrats which is no surprise.
Didn’t she admit she is did it.
