Lindsay Clancy's defense lawyer exploded outside the Plymouth County Superior Court on Monday as he slammed journalists for criticizing the postpartum mom's case.
'Mr Hannity, discussing every little inch of Lindsay's symptoms, criticizing her,' Kevin Reddington said, referring to conservative tv host Sean Hannity.
'Nancy Grace, to coin a phrase, "Queen of Mean," who misrepresents facts,' he exclaimed. 'I challenge Nancy Grace to show us where Lindsay Clancy ever Googled "how to kill." These are the things that hurt people… If you're going to be a journalist, do it right.'
Clancy is on trial for murdering her three children Cora, 5, Dawson, 3 and Callan, eight months, using exercise bands at her Duxbury, Massachusetts home in January 2023.
Jurors are now in their third day of deliberations. Reddington confirmed to the Daily Mail that the jury requested to see the two bags of pill bottles and the knife found by police on the night of the killings on Friday.
The defense argued that the former labor and delivery nurse was suffering from postpartum depression and psychosis brought on by overmedication, while prosecutors maintained that she was aware of and in control of her actions.
A jury of nine women and three men, who are non-sequestered, will decide if the Massachusetts mom is guilty of first degree murder, second degree murder or manslaughter, or if she is not guilty by reason of insanity.
Lindsay Clancy’s defense attorney Kevin Reddington had strong words for media covering the murder trial as he arrived at the courthouse on Monday.
'Mr. Hannity, discussing every little inch of Lindsay's symptoms, criticizing her,' Reddington said, referring to conservative TV host Sean Hannity.
'Nancy Grace, to coin a phrase, "Queen of Mean," who misrepresents facts. I challenge Nancy Grace to show us where Lindsay Clancy ever Googled "how to kill."
He continued: 'These things hurt people. If you're going to be a journalist, do it right. Be a Bob Ward. Be a Shelley Murphy. Do it right.'
Jury deliberations are set to resume today in the high-profile trial.
A psychiatrist who testified against Lindsay Clancy at her murder trial resigned from his hospital job hours after taking the stand.
Dr Avram Mack concluded that the 36-year-old was criminally responsible for killing her children after he interviewed her in April this year.
