After Mistrial, Lindsay Clancy Could Face Retrial or Plea

Lindsay Clancy’s case ended in a mistrial.

This means the case was not finished with a final verdict.

Prosecutors now have more than one possible path.

They could try the first-degree murder case again.

They could also negotiate a guilty plea to a less serious charge.

Boston defense attorney Elyse Hershon described both possibilities.

The district attorney has the authority to decide what happens next.

The case could therefore continue through another trial or a plea agreement.
