Massachusetts judge rejects bid by Clancy’s attorneys to have the case against her dismissed

A Massachusetts judge cleared the way on Monday for Lindsay Clancy to be tried again on ⁠murder charges for killing her three young children at her home in 2023, saying a retrial would not unconstitutionally subject her to a ⁠double prosecution for the same ⁠crime.

Judge William ​Sullivan in Plymouth rejected a bid by Clancy’s attorneys to have the case against her dismissed. The judge on 4 September declared ⁠a mistrial after the jury reported that a holdout juror was preventing it from reaching a unanimous verdict.
