Lindsay Clancy prosecutors face dilemma: Retrial or plea deal in case involving 3 strangled children
Wednesday, September 16, 2026
Lindsay Clancy's defense attorney stated he would accept a bench trial, in which a judge rather than jury decides the verdict, on reduced charges. The statement came as prosecutors considered options following a mistrial declaration after jurors could not reach a unanimous decision in the original trial. Clancy was charged in connection with the deaths of three children. Prosecutors must decide whether to pursue a new trial with a jury or negotiate a plea agreement.
