Attorney Kevin Reddington wasted no time in moving on to his next case, confirming during a Friday press conference that he would be defending another Massachusetts woman — this one accused of killing her own grandmother for money.

After Friday’s announcement confirming a hung jury and a mistrial for Lindsay Clancy — in the murders of her three young children — Reddington told reporters that he was moving ahead with a defense for Kelsie Cote in the 2022 death of her grandmother, Doris Cote.

Referring to Cote as “a very nice young lady,” Reddington told the press, “Between Lindsay and Kelsie, I’ll get it done.”

Prosecutors have alleged that Kelsie Cote, now 30, had attacked her 74-year-old grandmother with a pair of scissors and a paperweight in Doris’s home office — and then dragged or moved her body to the stairs in an effort to disguise the injuries and make it appear as though the elderly woman had fallen — between 7:30 p.m. and midnight on Halloween night, 2022.

Cote told authorities that she discovered her grandmother’s body around 10 a.m. on November 1. Six hours later, she called her father for help — and he was the first to dial 911 when he arrived. Investigators quickly found several injuries that did not make sense if Doris Cote had fallen: sharp force injuries to the back of her head as well as at least one cut on her thumb that appeared to be defensive in nature. They also found evidence suggesting that Doris had been killed in her office and dragged to the stairs.

Police also found bloody towels and cleaning solution near where they believed Doris was killed — and Kelsie explained that she’d tried to clean up because she believed her grandmother was a “clean freak” and would be mad about the mess.

Cote had reportedly been close to her grandmother in years past — even living with her for a time — but Berkshire District Attorney Timothy Shugrue said she’d developed a drug addiction that factored into the killing. Shugrue also said that Cote had allegedly gotten her grandmother to name her as beneficiary of an estate worth more than $1 million.

Shugrue told local news outlet The Berkshire Eagle that Cote had made several damning internet searches prior to her grandmother’s death — including one detailing the anatomy of the human skull. Bloody clothes — along with the scissors and paperweight Cote was accused of using to kill her grandmother — were reportedly found in the younger woman’s 2014 Chevrolet Malibu.

Cote, as reported by The Eagle, has pleaded not guilty to all charges, including “first-degree murder; armed assault to murder a person over 60; two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon on a person over 60; and evidence tampering.”

Cote’s trial was delayed by Reddington’s involvement with the high-profile Clancy case, but following its dramatic conclusion on Friday, he is scheduled to appear at an evidence suppression hearing for Cote on September 28. It is unclear what evidence Reddington is looking to suppress.
