No trial date for second #Lindsayclancy trial. Judge said “my goal is to get this settled soon. I don’t want to kick can down the road.”
Reddington: “I can’t do a trial date before June”
Judge: “We’ll talk at next hearing 11/2. @boston25
Also under consideration is defense motion to un-impound jury trial notes and sidebar discussions.
ADA Sprague argued doing this would cause harm to jury system. Motion taken under advisement. @boston25 #lindsayclancy
ADA Buckingham said this is first time Reddington is questioning whether Lindsay Clancy killed her children. Argued evidence shows she is responsible. Said motive was that she felt she would never be the same.
