What to know

  • Clancy's murder trial ended Sept. 4 in a hung jury, with jurors later disclosing an 11-1 split favoring acquittal by reason of lack of criminal responsibility.
  • She has hired Martin Weinberg, who fought Karen Read's retrial, to file a motion arguing double jeopardy bars prosecutors from trying her again.
  • Prosecutors have not said whether they intend to retry Clancy; the case returns to court Sept. 29.
  • If she were acquitted for lack of criminal responsibility at a retrial, Clancy would be committed to a state psychiatric hospital rather than released outright.
