被控谋杀三个孩子的美国女子克兰西将于周一再次出庭，律师双方将就重审此案进行辩论。
Clancy, the US woman accused of murdering her three children, will return to a Massachusetts court on Monday as lawyers debate retrying the case.
她的辩护团队和马萨诸塞州检方预计将讨论如何推进案件，双方寻求的结果各不相同。
Her defence team and Massachusetts prosecutors are expected to discuss how to move forward, with both parties seeking different outcomes.
上周，针对辩方要求驳回审判的请求，检方给出了迄今最明确的暗示，表明他们正寻求在另一陪审团面前重新审理此案。“联邦政府[马萨诸塞州]应被允许继续为科拉、道森和卡兰·克兰西——她的三个孩子——追求正义，”检方表示。检方也可能在潜在的二审中减轻指控，或完全撤销指控。克兰西的首次审判因12人陪审团未能达成共识而以误判告终。
Last week, in response to a defence request to dismiss the trial, prosecutors offered their clearest hint yet that they are seeking a new trial before a different jury. "The Commonwealth [Massachusetts] should be permitted to continue to pursue justice for Cora, Dawson and Callan Clancy," her three children, prosecutors said. Prosecutors could also reduce the charges in a potential second trial or dismiss them altogether. Clancy's first trial ended in a mistrial after a 12-person jury failed to reach a consensus.
这名36岁的女子并未否认2023年杀害了自己的孩子，但其辩护团队主张，她当时患有严重的产后精神病。检方则称杀害行为是蓄意的。
The 36-year-old has not denied killing her children in 2023, but her defence team argues she was suffering from severe postpartum psychosis at the time. Prosecutors say the killings were intentional.
陪审团于2026年8月首次审理克兰西案件，但未能就检方是否已证明克兰西有罪“排除合理怀疑”（美国法律要求）达成一致意见。法官于9月初宣布误判。
A jury first heard Clancy's case in August 2026, but failed to reach a unanimous agreement on whether the prosecution had proved Clancy was guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt" as required by US law. A judge declared a mistrial in early September.
当月晚些时候的一次出庭中，克兰西的律师凯文·雷丁顿辩称法官应驳回其案件。与此同时，检方称州政府已“履行了举证责任”证明其有罪。
At a court appearance later that month, Clancy's lawyer, Kevin Reddington, argued the judge should dismiss her case. Meanwhile, prosecutors said the state had "met its burden" in proving her guilt.
但长达数小时的来回辩论最终未能就克兰西的后续走向给出更明确的答案——是撤销指控、就原指控重审，还是就较轻指控重审。这些讨论将于周一恢复。
But the hours-long back-and-forth ultimately didn't lead to a clearer answer about what might come next for Clancy - a dismissal of charges, retrial of the same charges, or retrial of lesser charges. These discussions will resume on Monday.
威廉·沙利文法官在9月表示，他希望“推动此案进展”，看起来对案件将会重审充满信心。他要求双方准备好在11月的听证会上讨论可能的审判日期。
Judge William Sullivan seemed confident the case would be retried, saying in September he wanted to "get this thing moving". He asked both sides to prepare to discuss possible trial dates at the November hearing.
雷丁顿表示，如果重审此案，他将无法在2027年6月之前开庭受审。
Reddington said he would be unable to go to trial until at least June 2027 if the case was retried.
当时，地区检察官蒂莫西·克鲁兹表示，检方尚未决定是否重审克兰西。
District Attorney Timothy Cruz said at the time that prosecutors had not yet decided whether to retry Clancy.
他说：“我们正在尽职调查；我们将继续这样做。我们将为孩子们做我们能做的一切。这案子关乎的就是这一点。”从根本上说，克兰西的法律团队——由雷丁顿领衔——正在推动撤销或撤回指控。他们探索了多种法律途径。
"We're doing our due diligence; we're going to continue doing that," he said. "We're going to do what we can for the children. That's what this case is about." Fundamentally, Clancy's legal team - with Reddington at the helm - is pushing for the charges to be dismissed or dropped. They've explored a variety of legal avenues.
9月，他请求根据第25条规则判定克兰西无罪——马萨诸塞州的一项规定，即如果检方在审判中未提出足够证据，被告应被判定无罪。该请求被驳回。
In September, he asked for her to be found not guilty under Rule 25 - a Massachusetts provision that states a defendant should be found not guilty if prosecutors do not present enough evidence at trial. That request was denied.
沙利文法官将于周一就若干动议听取辩论，但纽约法学院教授、精神健康法专希瑟·库科洛告诉BBC，听证会很可能将聚焦于一个狭窄的问题：这是否属于常规的陪审团僵局导致的无效审判——即陪审团真正无法达成一致——还是不当终止的审判？
Judge Sullivan will hear arguments on several motions on Monday, but Heather Cucolo, a New York Law School professor and mental health law expert, told the BBC that the hearing will likely focus on a narrow point: was this an instance of a routine deadlocked-jury mistrial - in which the jury genuinely could not agree - or was this an improperly terminated trial?
她说，雷丁顿可能会辩称，重审可能违反克兰西宪法赋予的“双重危险”保护——即一项法律标准，规定不得因同一罪行对一个人进行两次审判。但法律专家一致认为这种结果不太可能。
She said Reddington may argue that a retrial could violate Clancy's Constitutional protection against double jeopardy - a legal standard that says a person cannot be tried for the same crime twice. But legal experts agree that outcome is unlikely.
库科洛说：“公众对该审判的高度关注以及在不久的将来需要有一个了结，我认为法官将会说，这次无效审判是适当的、在法律上准确的，他们现在需要着手确定重审日期。”
"The public attention that's been put on this trial and the need to have some conclusion in the near future, I think that the judge is going to say that this mistrial was appropriate, was legally accurate, and that they need to now look to set a date for a retrial," Cucolo said.
虽然州政府的法律团队尚未明确表示将寻求重审，但克鲁兹和出庭辩论的检察官一贯表示，他们希望为克兰西的孩子们伸张正义。
While the state's legal team has not explicitly said they will pursue a retrial, Cruz and the prosecutors who argued the case have consistently said they want justice for Clancy's children.
上周，检方请求沙利文法官以“双重危险”为由驳回撤销对克兰西指控的动议。
Last week, prosecutors asked Judge Sullivan to reject the motion to dismiss charges against Clancy on the grounds of double jeopardy.
他们认为法院正确遵循了无效审判程序，因此他们有权代表孩子们再次寻求正义。
They argue mistrial procedures were properly followed by the court, and thus they have a right to seek justice again on behalf of the children.
“由于陪审团陷入僵局属于显而易见的必要性，无效审判宣告得当，因此应驳回被告的撤销案件动议，”检方在动议中写道。
"Because a mistrial was properly declared due to the manifest necessity of a deadlocked jury, the defendant's motion to dismiss should be denied," prosecutors wrote in the motion.
刑事辩护律师伊莉丝·赫肖恩告诉BBC，沙利文法官可能会在周一裁定案件能否继续进行，也可能稍后以书面形式作出裁决。
Judge Sullivan could make a determination over whether the case can proceed on Monday or he could rule later in writing, criminal defence lawyer Elyse Hershon told the BBC.
她说，地区检察官办公室打算如何推进案件，可能会在周一听证会前、听证会期间，甚至听证会结束数天后决定。
And how the District Attorney's office wants to proceed could be determined ahead of Monday's hearing, during it or even days after, she said.
“三项一级谋杀指控仍在审理中；除非地区检察官另行宣布，否则这些指控依然悬在林赛·克兰西头顶，”赫肖恩说。
"The three charges of first-degree murder are still pending; they are still hanging over Lindsay Clancy's head unless and until the DA announces otherwise," Hershon said.
历史上，地区检察官克鲁兹习惯在法庭审理结束后召开新闻发布会，就案件发表评论和宣布决定。她预测本周可能再次出现这种情况。
Historically, Cruz, the district attorney, has made comments and announcements about the case at press conferences after court finishes. That could happen again this week, she predicted.
赫肖恩表示，沙利文法官也很可能在周一的听证会上推动双方律师将审判日期排上日程。
It is also likely, Hershon said, that Judge Sullivan pushes the lawyers on both sides to get a trial date on the calendar during Monday's hearing.
“这并不意味着肯定会进行陪审团审判，但[他们会想]在日程表上预留日期，占住档期。这需要一大块时间，法院日程要排四、五、六周，临时很难安排，”她说。
"It does not mean it's definitely going to be a jury trial, but [they will want to] put something in the books, hold those dates. It's a big chunk of time. It's four, five, six weeks of the court calendar; that's hard to fit in at the last minute," she said.
“我预计他们会在处理所有这些动议、地区检察官办公室确定意向期间，先把时间预留出来。”
"I would anticipate they block off the time while they go through all these motions and the DA's office figures out what it wants to do."
