Lindsay Clancy returns to court after murder trial mistrial
Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother accused of killing her three children, returned to court as prosecutors signalled they plan to retry her case.
Lindsay Clancy, 36, returned to Massachusetts court on Monday after her first trial ended in mistrial in September when jurors could not agree on a verdict. Clancy has not disputed killing her three children—Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months—in 2023, but her defence argues she suffered severe postpartum psychosis and should not be held criminally responsible. Prosecutors told the court they plan to retry her, though they have not decided whether she will face the same first-degree murder charges or lesser charges. Clancy's lawyers argued the case should be dismissed, citing potential juror misconduct and claiming the judge should have questioned the sole holdout juror more thoroughly. Judge William Sullivan scheduled a further hearing for 16 November and said a retrial could occur as soon as March 2027.
