Prosecutors say they will pursue retrial for Lindsay Clancy but are still working out details

At a hearing Monday for Lindsay Clancy, prosecutors confirmed they will seek a retrial, but they told the judge they are still trying to determine the details. 

Following oral arguments, the Plymouth County District Attorney's Office requested a gag order on the case. Judge William Sullivan said he'd consider the motion and issue an order later, Fox News reported. 

Sullivan asked the prosecutors if they'd decided on whether to hold a new trial for Clancy. 

"This will be a retrial, as to what that looks like will depend. We're not at that point yet," Assistant Plymouth County DA Jennifer Sprague replied. 

Sprague also said they're not ready to pick a date for the trial. 

Clancy's defense attorney, Kevin Reddington, asked for the second trial to take place in the spring, before Sullivan retires. 

He also asked the prosecutors why they don't know if they plan to seek a retrial on first-degree murder or lesser charges. Reddington has said that he'd be open to a plea deal that avoids prison. 

Sulivan said that the parties could have another discussion on Nov. 16 to continue discussions about when to hold the trial. 

Clancy, 36, was charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the January 2023 deaths of her three children, ages 5, 3 and 8 months, inside the family’s home in Duxbury, Massachusetts. She then cut herself and jumped out a window of her home, paralyzing herself in the fall. 

While she admitted to carrying out the killings, her defense argued that she had been experiencing postpartum psychosis and heard a voice commanding her to kill the children and herself. 

Clancy was tried in September, which ended in a hung jury.
