World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported41m ago
Lindsay Clancy returned to a Massachusetts court on Tuesday as her legal team petitioned a judge to dismiss her murder case and find her not guilty. The proceedings center on the 2023 killings of Clancy's three young children.
Clancy's attorneys are actively seeking to head off a retrial following a previous mistrial. They argue that a mistrial should not have been declared in the first instance, asserting that proceeding with a retrial would violate constitutional protections against double jeopardy.
