Lindsay Clancy returns to court as the prospect of a retrial remains unclear
(opens the publisher’s site)Lindsay Clancy returned to a Massachusetts court Monday seeking dismissal of triple-murder charges after her trial ended in a mistrial in September.
- Clancy's lawyers urged Judge William Sullivan to dismiss the first-degree murder charges, arguing a retrial would violate her double-jeopardy protections.
- Sullivan scheduled a November 16 hearing to rule on the motions and said a retrial could begin as soon as March 2027.
- Prosecutors signaled plans to retry Clancy but did not state whether she would face the same first-degree murder charges or amended ones.
- Defense attorney Kevin Reddington pushed for a spring trial, saying, "I am not going to have this woman sit incarcerated for the next year or two or three."
