"The defendant understands that the government has a right to 'prove its case' but where there is an agreement for a stipulation the defendant submits that it is elevating form over substance to require a full blown trial on the issue of culpability as opposed to criminal responsibility."
"Judge William Sullivan denied Clancy's request March 30 on the grounds that her guilt and criminal responsibility are overlapping issues and should therefore be considered together."
Lindsay Clancy's defense team has filed a motion to reconsider a denied request for a multi-phase trial regarding her murder charges. Clancy is accused of killing her three children in 2023. The judge denied the request, stating that guilt and criminal responsibility are intertwined and should be addressed together. Clancy's attorney plans to pursue an insanity defense, arguing that the only issue is her mental state at the time of the killings. Prosecutors oppose the motion and refuse to stipulate any facts about the case.
