Lindsay Clancy Expected in Court After Mistrial

Lindsay Clancy is due in Plymouth Superior Court Tuesday, September 29, after her murder trial ended in a mistrial on September 4, when jurors deadlocked 11-1, with the majority reportedly favoring a not-guilty-by-reason-of-insanity verdict. Clancy admits strangling her three children in 2023 but says she was experiencing postpartum psychosis; prosecutors contend the killings were deliberate. Her defense is seeking dismissal, arguing that a retrial would violate double-jeopardy protections and that the judge lacked sufficient grounds to declare a mistrial, and has requested an inquiry into the lone holdout juror. The juror’s attorney says his client based his decision on the evidence and law and has rejected the defense’s allegations. Prosecutors have not announced whether they will retry Clancy on first-degree murder charges, pursue lesser charges or take another course; the judge may consider pending motions and set a trial date.
