Judge Rejects Bid to Dismiss Murder Charges Against Lindsay Clancy
A Massachusetts judge has rejected a bid to dismiss murder charges against Lindsay Clancy. The decision clears the way for Clancy to face a retrial over the deaths of her three children.
A Massachusetts judge has rejected an attempt to throw out the murder charges brought against Lindsay Clancy. On Monday, the court denied a bid submitted by Clancy's attorneys seeking to have the case against her completely dismissed.
The ruling directly clears the way for Clancy to face a retrial over the deaths of her three children. She is accused of killing the three children, and the defense had asked the judge to end the legal proceedings before another trial could take place.
With the defense team's motion officially turned down, the path is now open for Clancy to be tried again on the murder charges. The court's decision ensures that the retrial regarding the deaths of her children will proceed.
