Prosecutors hint at retrial for Lindsay Clancy on murder charges

Massachusetts prosecutors have given their clearest indication yet that they plan to retry Lindsay Clancy for the murder of her three children in 2023.

At a hearing on Monday, Judge William Sullivan scheduled a 16 November hearing where he plans to rule on a handful of motions that could determine how a retrial would proceed, including a request to dismiss the first-degree murder charges.

Clancy faced a weekslong trial on those charges over the summer. It fell apart in early September after a 12-person jury failed to reach a verdict.

If there is a retrial, Judge Sullivan said, it could happen as soon as March 2027.
