Lindsay Clancy hires Karen Read attorney for high-stakes double jeopardy fight after murder mistrial
Veteran attorney Martin Weinberg will argue the mistrial blocks a retrial after jurors reported an 11-1 split in Clancy’s favor.
- On Tuesday, defense attorney Martin Weinberg joined Lindsay Clancy's legal team in Plymouth Superior Court as "Limited Appearance Counsel" to pursue a double jeopardy challenge following her Sept. 4 mistrial.
- Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial after jurors deliberated for seven days without reaching a unanimous verdict; 11 members supported finding Lindsay not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility.
- Weinberg, who previously served as "Limited Appearance Counsel" for Karen Read during her 2024 retrial, told WCVB his new appointment focuses specifically on future double jeopardy filings.
- Lindsay admitted to killing her three children—Cora, Dawson, and Callan—in their Duxbury home on Jan. 24, 2023, while her defense argued she suffered from postpartum psychosis.
- A hearing is scheduled for Sept. 29 to determine the case's next steps, as prosecutors have not yet announced whether they will seek a retrial following the jury's 11-1 deadlock.
