Judge in Lindsay Clancy murder trial rejects defense's not-guilty bid

The Massachusetts judge overseeing Lindsay Clancy’s trial declined defense attorney Kevin Reddington’s request to find the mother accused of killing her three children not guilty by lack of criminal responsibility after a mistrial was declared last month.

Reddington had argued that the commonwealth and defense’s expert witnesses agreed that Clancy suffered from a severe mental illness and that the prosecution did not prove Clancy had the capacity to know what she was doing was wrong.
