Judge denies Lindsay Clancy's motion to dismiss case
The judge found a mistrial was justified by a deadlocked jury and rejected double jeopardy claims, while also denying a bid to question the holdout juror.
- On Monday, Plymouth Superior Court Judge William Sullivan denied Lindsay Clancy's motion to dismiss her triple-murder case, ruling that a retrial would not violate constitutional protections against double jeopardy.
- Clancy's previous trial for the 2023 deaths of her three children—Cora, Dawson, and Callan—ended in a mistrial after the jury deadlocked with an 11-1 split in favor of acquittal.
- Sullivan also denied defense requests to investigate a holdout juror and rejected a prosecution move for a gag order, writing that a retrial does not violate Clancy's constitutional rights.
- District Attorney Tim Cruz and defense attorney Kevin Reddington will return to court on November 16 to discuss the path forward, with Reddington telling the judge, "I want a trial, and I want it this spring."
- March 2027 marks the potential trial date Sullivan suggested, though Reddington maintains Clancy was not criminally responsible due to postpartum psychosis at the time of the killings.
