Lindsay Clancy Retrial Fight: Double Jeopardy, the 11–1 Jury Split & What Happens Next
Lindsay Clancy returned to court today as her defense asked Judge William Sullivan to dismiss the murder charges against her and prevent Massachusetts from trying her again. Her first trial ended in a mistrial after jurors split 11–1. The defense now argues there was no "manifest necessity" to declare that mistrial and that another prosecution would violate double jeopardy. Prosecutors say the jury was legitimately deadlocked and they should be allowed to proceed with another trial. Judge Sullivan heard the arguments and took the motion under advisement. He did not issue a ruling today. Scott Reisch explains the double-jeopardy fight, what "manifest necessity" means, why the lone holdout juror matters, and what could happen next. Also covered: Luigi Mangione's state double-jeopardy fight, the James Barbier/Karen Snider 1966 cold case, the Yella Beezy murder trial, Karl Fontenot's third trial, Michael Creel's DUI murder conviction, Shane James Jr.'s competency and insanity issues, the Naresh Bhatt trial, Sheridan Fogle, fast jury verdicts, Legal History, Legal Quote and Dumb Criminal.
