POLICY WIRE — Duxbury, Massachusetts — Lindsay Clancy’s defense team is preparing to seek dismissal of the murder charges against her following a mistrial that stemmed from a deadlock among jurors.

Her attorney, Kevin Reddington, announced plans to file a motion to dismiss on September 29, citing double jeopardy grounds. He argued that the judge did not have sufficient justification for declaring a mistrial, as the jury was split 11 to 1 over whether one juror refused to apply reasonable doubt as instructed.

The trial, which ended in a mistrial on September 4, centered on Clancy’s alleged role in the deaths of her three children—Cora, Dawson, and Callan—in their Duxbury home on January 24, 2023. Prosecutors claimed she intentionally strangled them, while her defense maintained she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and was not criminally responsible.
