Lindsay Clancy in court to drop child murder charges after mistrial

Lindsay Clancy, the American mother facing murder charges for killing her three young children, has returned to court in a bid to get the charges dropped. Clancy’s lawyers urged Judge William Sullivan on Monday to dismiss the first-degree murder charges against her in the state of Massachusetts in the United States, saying retrying her for killing her three young children would violate ⁠⁠her constitutional rights. Prosecutors said they intend to retry Clancy if the case moves forward but have not decided if she would face the same first-degree murder charges. Monday’s hearing was her second time in court since September, when jurors were unable to reach a verdict at her trial.
