Judge Hears Lindsay Clancy’s Defense Motion to Dismiss, Next Court Date Set
Defense lawyers seek to dismiss murder charges and preserve juror records after a mistrial ended with 7 days of deliberations.

- The mistrial followed seven days of jury deliberations with jurors split 11 to 1 in favor of finding Clancy not criminally responsible, though one holdout juror later stated he had "no doubt" about her guilt.
- Prosecutors filed a motion Tuesday seeking a gag order, arguing Attorney Kevin Reddington's media comments about witnesses and deliberating jurors could prejudice the proceedings.
- Defense counsel filed motions seeking to terminate the case through double jeopardy arguments, while the Judge scheduled the next hearing for November 2 to address jury records.
- Reddington stated he would not agree to let Clancy "do a day in jail" in any plea deal, while prosecutors have yet to reveal whether they plan to retry the case.
