What happens next after Lindsay Clancy's mistrial?

Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial ended in a mistrial after a 12-person jury reported it could not reach a unanimous decision following seven days of deliberations and five weeks of testimony. Clancy, 36, is charged with three counts of murder tied to the strangulation deaths of children Cora (5), Dawson (3), and Callan (8). The prosecution and defense will return to court for a hearing on September 28, when Clancy’s attorney, Kevin Reddington, is expected to argue a motion to dismiss. Judge William Sullivan said he would need to confirm his schedule, though he indicated proceedings should begin quickly, potentially later this fall. Under Massachusetts law, Clancy cannot waive a jury for first-degree murder, so if prosecutors do not amend charges, the retrial is likely to closely mirror the first. The district attorney, Timothy Cruz, said he made “no decisions” about retrial plans.
