## Key points

- Clancy’s first murder trial ended without a verdict.
- Her lawyers are seeking dismissal on double jeopardy grounds.
- Prosecutors have not confirmed whether they will retry her.

## Summary

Lindsay Clancy returned to a Massachusetts court for a hearing on whether to dismiss the charges against her and discuss the possibility of a second trial. Her first murder trial ended in a hung jury, leaving prosecutors to decide whether to retry her in the deaths of her three children.

Clancy, 36, is charged with first-degree murder in the January 2023 deaths of Cora, five, Dawson, three, and Callan, eight months. She admitted strangling them but pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, citing postpartum psychosis and medication. The jury split 11 to 1 in favour of acquittal; her lawyers argue a retrial would violate double jeopardy, while prosecutors say the rule does not apply because there was no acquittal or conviction. Prosecutors have not said whether they will seek a retrial or offer a plea deal.
