Judge Denies Motion to Dismiss Clancy
Tap title to read story
A Massachusetts judge denied a motion to dismiss the murder case against Lindsay Clancy, the U.S. woman accused of killing her three children. The ruling follows a mistrial that ended in September, when a twelve‑person jury could not reach a verdict. By denying the motion, the judge cleared the way for prosecutors to pursue the case, possibly with reduced charges in a future trial. Clancy has not denied the killings, but her defense argues she suffered severe postpartum psychosis at the time. The judge also rejected a request to see records of the lone holdout juror and to question that juror under oath. A hearing is set for sixteen November to discuss a potential second trial, which the judge had suggested could begin in March.
