Lindsay Clancy's defense attorney has said he plans to ask that the murder case and possible retrial of the Massachusetts mom be thrown out, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Kevin Reddington is reportedly set to present a motion to dismiss on Sept. 29 at his client's next scheduled status hearing.
Clancy's attorney, Kevin Reddington, plans to file a motion at an upcoming hearing.
Clancy's highly publicized murder trial ended in a mistrial on Sept. 4 after jurors could not come to a unanimous verdict, despite more than a week of deliberations.
Now, Reddington argues there should not be a retrial, and plans to argue his case in front of a judge.
"It will be a motion to dismiss based on what's called double jeopardy grounds, because there's no manifest necessity," Reddington told CBS Mornings. "You have to have a manifest necessity to declare a mistrial for obvious reasons – the invested time that the jurors put into it, the court, the staff, the defendant, the prosecution, everybody."

Clancy admitted to murdering her three young children – 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan – in their Duxbury, Massachusetts, home on Jan. 24, 2023. However, her attorneys argued she was not criminally responsible because she was overmedicated and was allegedly suffering from postpartum psychosis.
Prosecutors countered that the mother meticulously planned to strangle her children and knew what she was doing.
