Judge in Lindsay Clancy Case Indefinitely Impounds Jury Questionnaires
The judge said juror questionnaires remain sealed because releasing them could cause immediate and irreparable injury in the high-profile case.
- On Tuesday, Judge William Sullivan extended the impoundment of juror names and questionnaires indefinitely, citing "significant and divisive" attention surrounding the Lindsay Clancy murder trial.
- Sullivan declared a mistrial on Sept. 4 after jurors deadlocked 11-1 regarding Clancy's criminal responsibility for the 2023 deaths of her three children.
- Defense attorneys Kevin Reddington and Martin Weinberg filed a motion this week seeking to dismiss the case, arguing a retrial would violate Clancy's double jeopardy rights.
- The filing contends the court ignored warnings that a juror refused to follow instructions, which the defense claims "required a judicial inquiry sufficient to ascertain whether her right to an impartial jury was being violated."
- A hearing scheduled for Sept. 29 will likely determine the future of the prosecution as Clancy remains at Tewksbury State Hospital.
