According to the South China Morning Post, Lindsay Clancy reappeared in court on Monday with the objective of having the charges related to the alleged murder of her three young children dismissed. This Monday's hearing represented the second instance the Massachusetts mother had been in court since her trial concluded in September with a jury unable to reach a consensus on a verdict. The central focus of the proceedings was a motion put forward by the defense to dismiss the charges based on double jeopardy. During the proceedings, the atmosphere became tense as defense attorney Kevin Reddington pressed the judge to look into the single juror who did not reach a decision, raising questions about his use of a mobile phone during the jury deliberations and whether he had been truthful when selected for the jury.
