Prosecutors in Plymouth County, Massachusetts, told a judge Monday that Lindsay Clancy would likely face a second trial in the 2023 killings of her three children, without saying whether the charges would remain first-degree murder, CBS News reported^1,10.

Judge William Sullivan said he was leaning toward March as a realistic date if the case is retried, to be discussed at a Nov. 16 hearing, according to CBS News^1,12.

BBC News said a retrial could happen as soon as March 2027¹⁰.

Prosecutor Jennifer Sprague said, "This would be a retrial," and that prosecutors had not decided how it would look, CBS News reported¹.

Defense attorney Kevin Reddington said he needed to know whether the next trial would be first-degree murder or a lesser charge and that he wanted a spring trial before Sullivan^1,10.

The Boston Globe reported Reddington pressed District Attorney Timothy Cruz in the courtroom; outside, Cruz said his office was still reviewing information and would make a methodical determination^12,10.

Clancy’s first trial ended in a hung jury on Sept. 4¹. The Boston Globe reported jurors deadlocked, with 11 voting to acquit based on lack of criminal responsibility¹².

At the first trial, Reddington said Clancy was not criminally responsible because she was overmedicated and suffering from postpartum psychosis; prosecutors said she knew right from wrong, CBS News reported¹.

Reddington also sought dismissal of the charges; Sullivan has not ruled and told prosecutors to decide by Nov. 16 unless he grants that motion^12,10.
