Lindsay Clancy Returns to Court for Retrial Hearing, Watch Live Stream
Lindsay Clancy Returns to Court After Mistrial
Lindsay Clancy murder case is heading back to court ... and TMZ is streaming live.
Clancy's defense team and the prosecution are going before Judge William Sullivan, with the state now requesting another trial -- and a new hearing has been scheduled for Nov. 2.
Prosecutors are fighting Clancy's request to be found not guilty for lack of criminal responsibility, arguing there was enough evidence for a jury to find her criminally responsible for killing her three children.
Clancy's attorney Kevin Reddington, meanwhile, is claiming she never admitted to doing anything and says there's no evidence suggesting she killed her children -- it's a completely different argument from the original trial.
The prosecution is also asking the judge to restrict what attorneys can say publicly about the case, arguing the massive media attention and comments from Clancy's defense could taint a future jury pool.
Clancy's attorneys were seeking to have the charges dismissed on double jeopardy grounds and wanted the court to investigate the lone holdout juror, including his alleged phone use during deliberations.
As TMZ reported, jurors deliberated for 38 hours before deadlocking 11 to 1. Eleven jurors were prepared to find Clancy not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility.
Clancy's defense argued she was suffering from postpartum psychosis when she strangled 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Callan in January 2023 ... while prosecutors argued the killings were planned.
