Lindsay Clancy, accused of killing his three children, returned this Tuesday to court for a preliminary hearing after his trial was declared null. However, it was not decided whether or not the woman will be judged again.
On September 4, Judge William Sullivan declared the trial void after the jury failed to reach a consensus on the mother was criminally responsible for the death of her children.
The jury then pointed out a new date for a situation: this Tuesday, September 29.

According to international media, the judge began the hearing saying that several motions were presented, but that they would not be discussed until the next hearing in November.
Among the motions is, for example, the one requiring an investigation of the jury which prevented the jury from reaching a unanimous verdict after seven days of deliberations.
During the session Clancy's defense attorney, Kevin Reddington, again asked for the trial to be annulled, questioned the evidence of the case.
“ Where's the evidence that she did this? This whole case is based on speculations ", shot.
In turn, the prosecution argued that the evidence presented at the trial showed that Lindsay Clancy had a “clear reason” and “rational” when she killed her three children.
It is recalled that Lindsay Clancy is accused of killing her three children, five-year-old Cora, Dawson, three-year-old, and eight-month Callan, at the family residence in Massachusetts in 2023. After the children were asphyxiated, the woman threw herself out a window of her home, surviving. However, she suffered severe spinal injuries that left her paraplegic.
More than 80 people testified at the trial, with the chances for this woman being the conviction for manslaughter (possibility introduced more recently), first-degree murder or second-degree murder. There is also the possibility that Clancy is not found guilty for reasons of mental health. In this case, the woman will be admitted.
