COURT TV opens its Lindsay Clancy hearing coverage outside the Massachusetts courthouse, where reporters wait for defense attorney Kevin Reddington. He approaches carrying paperwork, answers briefly as cameras gather around him, then heads inside.
The legal question is whether Clancy can face another trial following September's mistrial, when jurors could not reach a unanimous verdict in the case concerning the deaths of her children. Her defense is seeking dismissal on double jeopardy grounds. Prosecutors oppose that request, arguing that the mistrial was properly declared and another trial should be allowed.
The hearing's agenda also includes a prosecution request to limit attorneys' public comments about the case. Those are questions before the court, not a new verdict on the underlying charges.
The broadcast reached about 540,000 views in eleven hours, already far beyond the channel's usual full first day for long videos and live streams. COURT TV has also posted a separate Vinnie Politan segment examining the mistrial and the question of whether Clancy will stand trial again.
