Lindsay Clancy's Defense Now Says No Proof She Killed Her Children

Lindsay Clancy's legal team is now making a dramatically different argument than it did at her murder trial ... claiming there's no evidence she killed her three children at all.

Clancy's attorney Kevin Reddington told Judge William Sullivan Tuesday she never admitted to doing anything and argued the evidence doesn't establish that she was the one who killed the children -- a major shift from the defense at trial, when her lawyers argued she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and lacked criminal responsibility.

Prosecutors are pushing back and asking for another trial, arguing there was enough evidence for a jury to find Clancy criminally responsible. A Nov. 2 hearing is now on the calendar, when the court could potentially set a date for a retrial.

Reddington also accused President Trump and Rep. Nancy Mace of helping turn the case into a media circus, pointing to Trump's public comments and Mace's interview with TMZ DC, telling Jacob that Clancy should be publicly executed.

The prosecution is also asking the judge to restrict what attorneys can say publicly about the case, arguing the massive media attention and comments from Clancy's defense could taint a future jury pool.

Clancy's attorneys were seeking to have the charges dismissed on double jeopardy grounds and wanted the court to investigate the lone holdout juror, including his alleged phone use during deliberations.

As TMZ reported, jurors deliberated for 38 hours before deadlocking 11 to 1. Eleven jurors were prepared to find Clancy not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility.
