Plymouth, Massachusetts - A judge has denied Lindsay Clancy's legal team's efforts to have her triple murder case dismissed on double jeopardy grounds, along with two other motions. Here's what will happen next.

On Monday, Judge William Sullivan wrote in his ruling that the court concluded there was a manifest destiny at play that called for a mistrial due to what he said was the jury's deadlock.

"A retrial on the murder indictments does not violate Clancy's right not to be placed in double jeopardy," Judge Sullivan wrote. Clancy's lead defense attorney, Kevin Reddington, had also previously filed a motion to investigate the lone holdout juror, which Judge Sullivan on Monday denied.

But it wasn't just the defense's motions that were denied, as the judge also tossed out a request from the prosecution for a gag order before a possible retrial, which would bar attorneys, witnesses, parties, and other participants in the pending criminal trial from publicly discussing information about the case with the media or the public.

"The Commonwealth has not sufficiently demonstrated that defense counsel's extrajudicial speech poses a serious threat of harm by materially prejudicing the jury venire or the outcome of any retrial. Therefore, the Commonwealth has failed to meet its burden to justify the extreme remedy of a prior restraint," Judge Sullivan wrote. 

However, the judge said the prosecution could ask for a gag order again should the circumstances change prior to a possible retrial.

Clancy and her defense team are set to appear in court again on Monday, November 16. Judge Sullivan has previously said he plans to schedule a trial date for a retrial of Clancy for murder at this court date,

Clancy is due back in court on Nov. 16, when Judge Sullivan said he plans to schedule a trial date for the Massachusetts mother. 

The judge has indicated his wishes for a retrial to start in March 2027, should prosecutors officially announce plans to retry the case, that is.
