Lindsay Clancy was back in court Tuesday, and her attorney Kevin Reddington is prepared to try anything to keep his client — a mother of three who admitted to killing her children — from seeing the inside of a prison cell. In September, Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial when a lone juror — 48-year-old Michael Desronvil — refused to concede to his peers during deliberations. Desronvil, a Christian father, was not prepared to let Clancy off from the murder charges she faced. Reddington was not happy. According to KSWO-TV, he asked Sullivan to investigate Desronvil after the trial. People...

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...

Lindsay Clancy and her legal team returned to court on Tuesday, arguing that the state of Massachusetts failed to prove she killed her children — a claim that prosecutors called “laughable.” This marks the first hearing since Clancy’s triple murder trial ended in a mistrial earlier this month. The hearing in Plymouth Superior Court, which began just before 10 a.m., included a number of motions filed since the trial concluded. Judge William Sullivan immediately punted some of those motions to a later date, noting that he, and some parties, were not ready for them to be argued. One of those...

Massachusetts law faces fierce criticism from legal scholars, scientists, and prosecutors as you cannot prove a negative (disproving the existence of something that leaves no physical footprint, like a specific psychiatric defect at a precise moment in the past). Because of this, the Massachusetts legal framework creates a deeply controversial paradox in practice. The court system tries to bypass this scientific impossibility by changing the definitions. Legally, the state argues they aren’t requiring prosecutors to prove a negative. Instead, they insist that prosecutors are required to prove a positive behavioral state (the presence of rational, goal-directed, and controlled behavior). However,...

A century after the U.S. passed the 19th Amendment allowing women to vote, Dale Partridge and some other pastors say that was a mistake and are calling for its repeal. “If we can repeal Roe v. Wade, then I think we can overturn the 19th Amendment,” said Partridge, pastor at King’s Way Church in Prescott, Ariz. “We will repeal the 19th Amendment within 10 years,” he said in a February Instagram post that argued bad things happen when women are permitted to vote:

Repeal the 19th Amendment? Even if you think it is a good idea, that ship sailed long ago. Women make up more than half the voting population, and by a large margin at that. In the 2024 election, for instance, over nine million more women voted than men. And just as in college education, women dominate the political culture. It may be possible to get more men off their behinds to vote, but female dominance in politics is not going away any time soon, and whatever fantasies some people have about repealing the 19th Amendment, it ain't going to happen....

While Americans struggle to comprehend how the jury's deliberations in the Lindsay Clancy case could result in a mistrial, shameless jurors have taken to the media to publicly air their reasoning. The results, thus far, have been horrifying. One astonishingly chatty juror has been thrust into the public limelight to explain to Americans how the murder of three kids can be excused by postpartum psychosis. Paula Devlin. She has been highly willing to give the public a disturbing view of the jury's decision to turn the case into a "feminist" cause. And, it turns out, they are making the case...

The lone holdout juror whose refusal to find Lindsay Clancy not guilty by reason of insanity led to a mistrial is speaking publicly for the first time, disputing claims from fellow jurors that he expressed doubts about the prosecution's case, according to his attorney. Attorney Edward Paltzik told Fox News Digital Friday that he represents the holdout juror, Michael P. Desronvil, whom he described as an "American Hero and Champion of Justice." "Please pray for him and help us protect him," Paltzik wrote in a separate social media post. He said his client is laying low in an undisclosed "rural...

Do we have time for one more look at the insane women who made up the Lindsay Clancy jury, now that, according to The Boston Globe, the lone holdout juror is "getting the negative attention he deserves"? The other jurors claim that the holdout disregarded jury instructions, but the jury had one job: to determine Clancy's innocence or guilt. Not to make a feminist statement. Not to get a national conversation going. Just determine innocence or guilt, based on the facts. The facts are that Clancy murdered her three children, aged 5 years to 8 months, with an exercise band....

Paula Devlin, one of the outspoken Lindsay Clancy jurors, said the quiet part out loud this weekend during an interview with CBS. Lindsay Clancy strangled her three children to death in January 2023. Clancy admitted that she killed all three of her own children, but the defense argued she was not guilty by reason of insanity. The jury considered five verdicts: – Guilty of First-Degree Murder – Guilty of Second-Degree Murder – Guilty of Manslaughter – Not Guilty – Not Guilty due to Lack of Criminal Responsibility Eleven jurors were ready to find Lindsay Clancy not guilty by reason of...

The woman behind the fundraiser that has amassed $1.2 million for Lindsay Clancy’s parents is a 42-year-old separated Wisconsin TikTok mom-of-three whose efforts could ultimately enrich the killer mom. Brandee Mulligan — who has no affiliation with 36-year-old Clancy, her ex-husband, Patrick, or her parents, Michael and Paula Musgrove — set up a GoFundMe page last month without speaking to them... “And as a mom, like your heart just goes out to Lindsay,” she said of why she started “The Musgrove Family Fund.” “And I don’t want to focus too much on the Lindsay aspect of it. But I mean,...

Video: CBS News' Gayle King reacts live on air to learning Clancy "holdout juror" was the only "person of color" on the jury

For several days the pontificating media have been parading around the various jurors in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, using the mostly white women to frame the deliberations as sexist and insensitive to the emotional plight of a woman who strangled her three children to death with an exercise band. Millions of middle-age, suburban, angry white females have proclaimed that American men should not have an opinion in the case while simultaneously using toxic sympathy as a weapon to defend the murderer. The previously described “one male holdout juror” who created a mistrial by failing to find the murdering mother...

A juror in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial joined "CBS Mornings" to talk about the makeup of the jury, revealing the holdout juror was a Black man. She described her thought process during deliberations and revealed details of what happened behind closed doors.

Revered Massachusetts defense attorney Kevin Reddington is facing a four-count formal disciplinary petition filed with the Massachusetts Board of Bar Overseers (BBO) alleging professional misconduct, including claims made by convicted felon and former Fall River mayor Jasiel Correia II. Reddington is coming off the high-profile murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, accused of murdering her three children. The lengthy trial ended in a mistrial on Friday when the jury was deadlocked after hours of deliberation. The petition for discipline was filed on June 23, 2026, by Bar Council to the BBO, the investigative body that handles attorney discipline under the Supreme...

All 12 members of the jury have finally spoken out about the Lindsay Clancy case and how they really felt about the other jurors.

Greetings, Dear Reader, I might have mentioned this in previous State of the Days, but my favorite bit of Ingersoll genealogy is that I’m related to the guy who hosted the first ever witch trials … in a bar. Lieutenant Nathaniel Ingersoll was a prominent local business owner, militia member, and church leader. Of the 20 women he either accused or testified against, eight were hanged. By the way, did you see … THE THREE CRONES There’s The Fates, The Grey Sisters, The Norns, and most popularly due to Shakespeare, The Weird Sisters, and then there’s the three batty crones...

A fifth juror is speaking out on the Lindsay Clancy case and he is giving even more color to the jury deliberations that produced the stunning mistrial. After RedState's Bob Hoge gave an excellent breakdown on the fourth juror coming forward, this provides further context for what really looked like a coordinated effort to badger the holdout into changing his mind. Nick Dargie is now the fifth juror to publicly discuss the explosive deliberations following last week's mistrial. Dargie was one of the two male jurors who joined all nine women in voting to find Clancy not guilty by reason...

Talking to women in pink at the Lindsay Clancy trial There is no real dispute over whether Lindsay strangled her three children to death with exercise bands. This trial surrounds Lindsay’s mental state, specifically whether she was experiencing psychosis during the hour her husband went to pick up takeout. The killings are so insane it seems obvious only an insane person could do it, but by that circular logic, every serial killer (of which most are men) would be set free. This is the core of the female insanity defense: the more monstrous a woman’s crime, the less responsibility she...
