Kevin Reddington says prosecution did not offer evidence that client’s killing of her children constituted murder
Lindsay Clancy’s lawyer on Thursday asked the judge who oversaw the Massachusetts woman’s murder trial to declare her not guilty of murder by reason of insanity, saying prosecutors had failed to prove that, despite being mentally ill, she knew killing her three young children would be wrong.
Defense attorney Kevin Reddington made the request to Judge William Sullivan six days after the trial ended in a deadlock, and as a fourth member of the 12-member jury went public to describe how a single juror had prevented the panel from reaching a unanimous verdict.

NEW YORK (ANP) - De Amerikaanse aandelenbeurzen zijn donderdag opnieuw met verliezen gesloten. De stemming op Wall Street werd gedrukt door de verder stijgende olieprijzen, waardoor de inflatiezorgen nog meer toenamen. De olieprijzen stegen meer dan 6 procent en staan nu op de hoogste niveaus sinds mei. Brentolie steeg tot 108 dollar per vat en Amerikaanse olie kost ruim 102 dollar per vat.
Deze maand zijn de olieprijzen sterk gestegen door het escalerende geweld in het Midden-Oosten. Beleggers vrezen dat daardoor de inflatie nog meer wordt aangewakkerd, waardoor de Amerikaanse centrale bank de rente kan verhogen. De Federal Reserve neemt volgende week een nieuw rentebesluit en de verwachting dat er een verhoging komt wordt steeds sterker. Vrijdag komen cijfers over de inflatie die ook van groot belang zijn voor de Fed.
De Dow-Jonesindex daalde 0,6 procent tot 52.064,10 punten. De brede S&P 500 zakte 0,6 procent tot 7591,70 punten en de technologiegraadmeter Nasdaq verloor 0,7 procent tot 26.081,73 punten.

Waarom is Charlie Kirk niet de martelaar geworden die hij had kunnen zijn? Dat zouden we hier helemaal uit kunnen schrijven, maar gelukkig is dat waar de video over gaat! Kleine hint wel: als je de esthetische slag verliest, dan levert ook je wereldbeeld en ethiek aan resonantie in, want meer dan eens gaat esthetiek vooraf aan ethiek. Verder ook nog over het door Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) met het citaat "Woke 1 was crazy" ten einde verklaarde Woke 1, hoe Jason Arday Woke 1 definitief mee het graf in nam, en Woke 2, namelijk het Third Worldism van burgemeester Mamdani & Co.
