> Lindsay Clancy’s lawyers asked a Massachusetts judge to dismiss the first-degree murder charges tied to the deaths of her three children, arguing a retrial would violate her constitutional rights. The defence says juror misconduct and the judge’s questioning affected the trial; prosecutors plan to seek a retrial if the case proceeds. The judge has not ruled and set another hearing for November 16.
