van's explanation of his order said that there was enough evidence introduced in court to bring the charges, and, following state case law, left the implications of expert testimony on Clancy's sanity and criminal responsibility to the jury.

A representative for Reddington said Thursday that he wouldn't be making a statement on the decision.

Sullivan has yet to rule on Clancy's pending motion to dismiss the case.

Clancy has been charged with first-degree murder in the January 2023 deaths of 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan.

Prosecutors argued she planned the killings, sending her husband out of their house for long enough to strangle each one and then attempt suicide.

She survived that attempt, and Reddington argued during the trial that she was not criminally responsible for what happened because she was experiencing postpartum psychosis.

Clancy remains charged with murder and is expected to stay at a psychiatric hospital until her case is resolved.

Clancy could have been sentenced to life in prison if convicted of murder. If acquitted, the judge could have ordered her confined to a mental health facility.

Her former husband, Patrick Clancy, who discovered the children's bodies, has said in interviews that he forgives her. The livestreamed trial generated intense public interest and drew attention to maternal mental health after childbirth.
