Prosecutors ask judge to reject motion to dismiss charges against Lindsay Clancy
Prosecutors argue they can continue to seek justice after a mistrial in the case involving the deaths of three children.
Prosecutors have requested a judge to deny Lindsay Clancy's defense motion to dismiss charges against her, according to NBC News.
The defense sought dismissal based on double jeopardy, which prevents multiple prosecutions for the same crime, but prosecutors countered that this does not apply because the trial ended in a mistrial.
The mistrial was declared after a jury deadlock following seven days of deliberation, with one juror holding out, as reported by NBC News.
Clancy faces three counts of murder and strangulation related to the 2023 deaths of her three young children in their home.
Her defense team argued she was not criminally responsible due to postpartum psychosis.
Prosecutors emphasized their right to continue pursuing justice for the children despite the mistrial.
