Clancy Defense Seeks Outright Acquittal to End Case After Mistrial
Lindsay Clancy’s defense filed a motion asking a Massachusetts judge to enter a not guilty verdict by lack of criminal responsibility on all three murder charges after a hung jury (11-1). The attorney argues the Commonwealth’s evidence doesn’t prove criminal responsibility, with a status hearing set for Sept. 29. While such motions are routine, they are rarely granted, and prosecutors could pursue retrial.
