A new lawyer joins

Lindsay Clancy has added Boston attorney Martin Weinberg as she seeks to stop prosecutors from retrying her after a deadlocked murder jury.

The motion is narrow

Weinberg entered a limited appearance to file and argue a coming dismissal motion on double-jeopardy grounds in Plymouth Superior Court.

“related matters”

The jury split hard

Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial on Sept. 4 after seven days of deliberations. Several jurors later said the panel split 11-1 for lack of criminal responsibility.

Defense wants it over

Kevin Reddington signaled after the mistrial that he would fight any second trial, arguing the way the case ended should bar another prosecution.

Deadlock usually allows retrial

Prosecutors often can retry a defendant after a hung jury. Clancy’s team is expected to argue her mistrial had special facts that make a retrial improper.

Weinberg tried this before

Weinberg made a similar argument for Karen Read after her 2024 trial ended without a verdict on several charges.

Read lost that round

A judge rejected Read’s request because jurors never formally returned not-guilty verdicts and her lawyers had agreed to the mistrial.

The deaths remain central

Clancy is accused of strangling Cora, Dawson and Callan with exercise bands in their Duxbury home in January 2023, then jumping from a second-story window.

The defense cites psychosis

Clancy does not deny killing the children. Her lawyers say she was not criminally responsible because of postpartum psychosis and heavy medication.

Jurors stay protected

Sullivan ordered juror identities kept private indefinitely, citing safety concerns and unauthorized disclosure of personal information.
