What Option Did Lindsay Clancy’s Lawyer Say Never Came?

Lindsay Clancy did not turn down a plea deal, according to Kevin Reddington. He says prosecutors never offered one.

That means the spectacle we eventually watched was not the result of failed negotiations publicly known to us. The state pursued first-degree murder while the defense pursued lack of criminal responsibility.

Both positions carried enormous consequences.

A first-degree conviction means mandatory life without parole. A finding that Clancy lacked criminal responsibility could instead place her inside the state mental-health system, subject to evaluation and potential confinement.

Tony Brueski examines what justice is supposed to mean when mental illness is not disputed but its legal effect is.

Should punishment dominate? Treatment? Public safety?

And does the enormous emotional weight of three children’s deaths make prosecutors politically incapable of entertaining an outcome that might be legally defensible but publicly unpopular?
