Lindsay Clancy's case isn't over, and today we will continue to break down what comes next. This time we are joined by esteemed Retired MA Judge Carol Erskine. We have covered the motion the defense is bringing in the trial court and what it's actually asking for. Then the appeal to the Massachusetts SJC seeking to bar a retrial altogether, and how the double jeopardy argument plays out under Massachusetts law. Today we will be looking into the challenges of what a plea agreement could look like with the challenges of a fixed plea deal for a set number of years when dealing with a Mental Health Facility. The statute does not allow for a hospital to be forced into keeping a patient committed if they no longer require treatment. We will also dive deeper into the question of manifest necessity as it pertains to the mistrial that was declared by Judge Sullivan. Was there other alternatives and is there a winning argument for Double Jeopardy to attach? Finally, if the Commonwealth gets its second bite, what a new trial would look like: what changes, what the defense already knows, and where each side's leverage sits. Just facts, balls and strikes.
