What to know

  • Monday's hearing could decide whether Lindsay Clancy's triple-murder charges are dismissed outright or whether she faces a retrial.
  • The defense argues a second trial would violate double-jeopardy protections; prosecutors oppose dismissal and want to proceed again.
  • September's mistrial came from an 11-1 jury split toward acquittal on criminal-responsibility grounds, caused by a single holdout juror.
  • Judge Sullivan has already denied the defense's bid to further question that juror, calling it an improper breach of jury privacy; a plea deal remains a remote possibility.

    Clancy appears for motion hearing on dismissal and retrial

    Clancy's defense argues all three first-degree murder charges should be dismissed on double-jeopardy grounds, while prosecutors oppose the motion and push for a retrial; the judge is also expected to discuss a possible retrial timetable.

    “Prosecutors are fiercely opposing the motion and demanding a retrial to pursue justice.”

    • Sorry my sentence structure made it unclear what I was saying, her civil suit “confession” is what I’m saying is inadmissible. Patrick did testify about the “confession” he says was made to him and was cross examined. During the trial it came out that no one else on scene could hear Lindsay talk and that she was non-verbal. This discrepancy was…
