Lindsay Clancy’s lawyer is arguing that there wasn’t enough evidence to prove she killed her three children. It's a striking turn after a lengthy trial that focused more on her mental state than on whether she took their lives. At a hearing Tuesday, attorney Kevin Reddington said the “entire case is based on speculation” and that there isn't enough evidence that Clancy killed the children. Prosecutor Shanan Buckingham called his argument “laughable.” The hearing marked the first time Clancy was in court since her closely watched trial ended Sept. 4 with a deadlocked jury. During the trial, Reddington didn’t dispute that Clancy killed the children, instead seeking to persuade a jury to find her not criminally responsible because of a rare condition called postpartum psychosis.

A man who spent decades on Utah's death row has been released after prosecutors said newly analyzed DNA evidence doesn't link him to a 1985 killing. A judge ordered 71-year-old Douglas Stewart Carter released hours after a bond hearing Monday. Carter is required to wear a GPS monitor while he awaits a retrial. Prosecutors say they'll no longer seek the death penalty. A jury had convicted Carter of killing Eva Olesen, the aunt of a former Provo police chief. Carter has maintained his innocence and says an alleged confession was coerced. The Utah Supreme Court ordered a new trial last year, citing misconduct by investigators.

The owners of Camp Mystic have proposed selling off the riverfront property in bankruptcy. The plan hopes that a buyer will preserve the “historic mission” of the century-old private Christian girls camp, where 27 campers and counselors died in a 2025 flood. The camp filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization plan that would auction off the 749 acres it owns on the banks of the Guadalupe River and other assets. A buyer would likely get a portion of the camp frozen in time. Families of the victims have fought to stop any demolition of damaged cabins and buildings and stop repairs as part of their lawsuits.

Officials say three people were killed and four more were injured when an argument turned into gunfire at an after-hours strip club in Detroit. Detroit Police Chief Todd Bettison tells reporters that officers responding to the Sunday morning shooting on a largely residential street found three men who had been fatally shot. Four more people — two men and two women — were taken in private cars to area hospitals. Bettison says all the victims are thought to be in their 20s and 30s.

A police detective says Tasia Fortune was apparently killed in a drug dispute before her body was hung in a tree in a “staged” lynching behind an abandoned home in the Mississippi capital this summer. Police Det. Samuel Dukes, citing the medical examiner's opinion, offered the testimony Friday during a hearing for the first of two men who have been arrested in the killing. Like Fortune, both defendants are Black. A third man turned himself in Friday. Fortune's hanging body was discovered on Aug. 3. The case has attracted widespread attention because it has recalled actual lynchings in the Southern state.

Prosecutors will not seek the death penalty in the upcoming trial against a 71-year-old Utah man who spent decades on death row for a 1985 killing that he says he didn’t commit. Utah County prosecutors said newly analyzed DNA evidence from the killing of Eva Olesen did not match defendant Douglas Stewart Carter. The state Supreme Court last year had ordered a new trial, citing misconduct by investigators. Carter remains in custody. His attorney on Thursday requested a bond hearing and said he will ask for Carter to be freed while the case is pending.
