Plymouth DA Seeks Gag Order in 3-Child Clancy Case as Retrial Decision Waits

Summary
Prosecutors asked a judge to restrict Lindsay Clancy's lawyers from speaking to the media, arguing their comments after the mistrial could taint a future jury in the 2023 killings of her three children.
Defense lawyer Kevin Reddington rejected the request and denied attacking the holdout juror, while prosecutors said his remarks about that juror were among the most troubling.
Judge William Sullivan also took under advisement two defense bids to block any retrial: a Rule 25 motion for a not-guilty finding and a double-jeopardy motion arguing the mistrial should not have been declared.
District Attorney Timothy Cruz said his office still has not decided whether to retry Clancy, and the next hearing was set for Nov. 2 to argue the motions and possibly discuss a new trial date.
