The Trial of Lindsay Clancy - “Where is the evidence?”

Eleven jurors favoured finding Lindsay Clancy not criminally responsible for killing her three children, but one juror believed she was guilty. Unable to reach a unanimous verdict, that deadlock caused a mistrial. Now, during hearings which could pave the way for a potential future retrial, her lawyer has made a startling argument: he claimed that prosecutors never proved she killed her children at all.

In this episode Rachel and Luke unpack the dramatic battles unfolding in the courtroom during Lindsay Clancy’s latest court hearings, and explain exactly what this means for the case going forward.

With Lindsay Clancy’s lawyers seeking to block a second trial and investigate the holdout juror, could the judge bring the case to an end, or will another jury be asked to decide her fate?
