Escalation: Lindsay Clancy Returns to Court After Mistrial

Lindsay Clancy returned to Plymouth Superior Court for a status hearing, her first appearance since the mistrial. Judge William F. Sullivan heard arguments on several motions, including a renewed defense request to find her not guilty now, before any retrial, on the claim that the evidence did not establish she killed her children.

The defense shifted from the trial’s focus on her mental health to challenging that prosecutors proved she committed the killings. Sullivan set a hearing for early November and told the lawyers to be ready then to discuss a possible retrial date.
