Lindsay Clancy could potentially face new trial in March 2027
The judge said pending motions could be resolved by Nov. 16, while prosecutors signaled they may seek a new trial after the mistrial.
- On Monday, Judge William Sullivan signaled a preference for Lindsay Clancy's triple murder retrial to commence in March 2027, though he has not yet firmly scheduled the proceedings pending rulings on outstanding motions.
- The case returned to Plymouth County Superior Court following a mistrial in September caused by an 11-1 jury deadlock, where prosecutors argued the Duxbury mother acted intentionally while the defense claimed she suffered from postpartum psychosis.
- Attorney Martin Weinberg argued that retrying the case would subject Clancy "to live with a continuing state of anxiety and insecurity," filing a motion to dismiss the charges citing double jeopardy concerns.
- Judge Sullivan previously rejected requests for further juror inquiries, calling them an "inappropriate" violation of privacy, while prosecutors maintained the judge followed proper legal procedures when declaring the mistrial.
- Sullivan hopes to resolve pending motions, including a request for a gag order, by the Nov 16 conference, as the outcome of these decisions will determine whether legal proceedings move forward as planned next year.
