'No evidence' Clancy admitted killing her children, lawyer says
Lindsay Clancy's lawyers argued that prosecutors hadn't proven the Massachusetts woman killed her three children in 2023, in a shift from their previous defense that she was not criminally responsible because of mental illness. #News #Reuters #Newsfeed #unitedstates #lindsayclancytrial #massachusset

What the coverage shows
Most outlets converge on the defense’s sharp change in posture: NPR, AP, Reuters and BBC all foreground the lawyer now disputing that Clancy killed her three children, while CBS’s 60 Minutes and ABC echo the same “no evidence” angle. CNN and CBS News frame the story more procedurally, emphasizing Clancy’s return to court after the mistrial and the retrial or dismissal decision ahead. Reuters alone explicitly notes this is a shift from the earlier mental-illness defense.
