Clancy Hearing Weighs Dismissal, Possible Retrial

Lindsay Clancy is returning to court as the judge considers motions that could shape what happens after a deadlocked jury and mistrial in her case over the deaths of her three children. Her defense is seeking dismissal of the charges and challenging restrictions on public comments; prosecutors argue the mistrial was legally justified, and have signaled they may seek a retrial. The judge is also expected to address a request concerning the holdout juror, though he has already denied the defense’s request for an evidentiary hearing on that issue. Neither side has definitively committed to its next steps, and the hearing could include discussion of a possible retrial schedule.
