A judge ruled Monday that he will determine later this month whether Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts woman accused of murder in the killings of her three children in 2023, will face a retrial on three murder counts.

The defense and the prosecution argued several proposed motions Monday, including the defense’s motion to drop charges against Clancy. At the end of the nearly three-hour hearing, the judge scheduled a status hearing for Nov. 16, at which he will decide on the motions.

Clancy’s defense team argued that she can’t be retried on double jeopardy grounds, meaning a defendant can’t be prosecuted twice for the same crime, in a bid to have the charges dismissed.

In court, defense attorney Martin Weinberg argued that the prosecution must prove it met the manifest necessity standard to warrant a mistrial and, in turn, a retrial.
