Mistrial in Lindsay Clancy case: the bigger fault lies with the prosecution, not the jury
Boston Globe columnist Yvonne Abraham argues the mistrial in Lindsay Clancy’s case exposes the real failure: DA Tim Cruz’s decision to charge her with first-degree murder and the aggressive prosecutorial strategy, which may have contributed to the deadlock. She contrasts this with how different choices in the Latarsha Sanders case were handled and suggests Cruz should rethink charges if retrial occurs, focusing on justice over a harsh showcase.
