Lindsay Clancy hires Karen Read attorney for high-stakes double jeopardy fight after murder mistrial
Lindsay Clancy, accused of killing her three children, hired attorney Martin Weinberg to seek dismissal of her case on double-jeopardy grounds after a mistrial was declared due to a hung jury.
The mistrial occurred because 11 jurors favored finding Clancy not criminally responsible, while one juror voted to convict.
Clancy's defense argues that the mistrial bars a retrial, despite usual laws allowing retrials after deadlocked juries.
Judge William Sullivan ordered the identities of the jurors to remain private indefinitely to protect their safety amid concerns over unauthorized disclosure and public attention.
