Story summary

On November 9, 2026, Judge William Sullivan denied Lindsay Clancy's motion to dismiss murder charges related to the deaths of her three children in Duxbury, Massachusetts, in 2023. This decision paves the way for a potential retrial next year. The judge ruled that declaring a mistrial after jurors could not reach a unanimous verdict was necessary and does not violate Clancy's right against double jeopardy. Clancy’s defense team had argued that the judge should not have declared a mistrial in September when the jury was deadlocked, but Judge Sullivan disagreed with this stance.
