it new statement This appeared to contradict his previous statements made before and during his murder trial.

At Lindsay’s first court hearing since her mistrial for murder in early September, her attorney, Kevin ReddingtonSaid, “This entire matter is based on speculation.”

Lindsay’s defense attorney sought a ruling from the judge by arguing a de novo motion for a required finding of not guilty. In short, he wanted the judge to rule that there was not enough evidence for a rational jury to find Lindsay guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

He repeatedly asked, “Where is the proof that he did this? Where is the proof that he did this?” Reddington also asked, “Where’s the admission? Where does she say she did it?”

Reddington reviewed evidence that he felt was incriminating, including Lindsay’s body temperature and testimony from her ex-husband, patrick clancy. Reddington insisted, “There is no evidence that he has admitted that he did this.”

In his opening statement in July, Reddington said that Lindsay “knows what happened to those kids,” and earlier, at a pre-trial hearing in June, he said, “She takes responsibility. As the kids say, she owns it. She’s not running away from anything here. This whole case is an extreme tragedy.”

Reddington, in writing in an April filing, proposed stipulating that Lindsay admit to killing her children. He also requested that the court allow him to hear the case in two phases, one on his guilt and one on his mental state, but the judge did not grant the request. On Tuesday, Reddington said his two-part argument was consistent with his earlier request to split the lawsuit.

“When you have to plead guilty to reduce criminal responsibility, you’re in a dilemma,” he told the judge.

It’s the fact that [prosecutors] “Can’t prove probable cause.”
