Lindsay Clancy's lawyer now questions whether she killed her 3 children

Lindsay Clancy's lawyer is arguing that there wasn't enough evidence to prove she killed her three children. It's a striking turn after a lengthy trial that focused more on her mental state than on whether she took their lives.

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.
