A Massachusetts judge has denied a motion to dismiss the murder case against US resident Lindsay Clancy, who is accused of killing her three children in 2023. The ruling allows prosecutors to pursue a potential second trial, possibly with reduced charges or none at all. Clancy's defense team argued for dismissal on double jeopardy grounds, contending that Judge William Sullivan, who presided over the 26-day jury trial last summer, acted prematurely when he declared a mistrial in September. The judge ruled that a retrial would not subject Clancy to double jeopardy due to the jury's deadlock. He also denied the defense team's motion to access records of the lone holdout juror and question the juror under oath, citing lack of necessity for the defense and potential coercion. The judge has scheduled discussions for a potential second trial on November 16, with a possible start date in March. The closely watched case alleges that Clancy intentionally strangled her children - Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, eight months - in their Duxbury, Massachusetts, home. Clancy is currently being housed in a state-run psychiatric hospital and medical facility in Massachusetts.
