林赛·克兰西案审判如何牵动全美——并最终走向崩溃How the Lindsay Clancy trial gripped America - and ultimately fell apart

法官威廉·沙利文表示,如果案件进入重审程序,最早可能在2027年3月进行。

Judge William Sullivan said if the case is headed to a retrial, that could happen as soon as March 2027.

安娜·法古伊撰稿 警告:本报道包含令人不安的细节及涉及自杀未遂的内容 马萨诸塞州检方迄今给出了最明确的迹象,表明他们计划就林赛·克兰西2023年谋杀其三名子女一案进行重审。

By Ana Faguy Warning: This story contains distressing details and discussion of attempted suicide Massachusetts prosecutors have given their clearest indication yet that they plan to retry Lindsay Clancy for the murder of her three children in 2023.

在周一的听证会上,法官威廉·沙利文将11月16日定为听证日期,届时他计划就几项可能决定重审走向的动议作出裁决,其中包括一项驳回一级谋杀指控的请求。

At a hearing on Monday, Judge William Sullivan scheduled a 16 November hearing where he plans to rule on a handful of motions that could determine how a retrial would proceed, including a request to dismiss the first-degree murder charges.

克兰西在夏季经历了长达数周的审判,针对的正是这些指控。该审判于9月初宣告失败,因为由12人组成的陪审团未能达成一致裁决。

Clancy faced a weekslong trial on those charges over the summer. It fell apart in early September after a 12-person jury failed to reach a verdict.

沙利文法官表示,如果进行重审,最早可能在2027年3月举行。

If there is a retrial, Judge Sullivan said, it could happen as soon as March 2027.

检方周一未表明克兰西在重审中将面临相同指控还是经修改的指控。

The prosecution did not say on Monday whether Clancy would face the same charges or amended charges in the event of a retrial.

沙利文法官说,当双方本月晚些时候再次会面时,将听取法官对周一庭审中辩论的动议作出的裁决,并可能讨论重审的具体日期。克兰西的律师凯文·雷丁顿敦促法官安排在春季开庭审理。

When the parties meet again later this month, they will hear the judge's rulings on the motions argued in court on Monday, and potentially will discuss dates for a retrial, Judge Sullivan said. Kevin Reddington, Clancy's attorney, pushed the judge for a spring trial.

他说:“我不会让这名女子继续被监禁未来一年、两年甚至三年。我要一个日期,而且要在今年春天。” 但检察官詹妮弗·斯普拉格表示,她希望先听取沙利文法官对周一辩论内容的裁决,然后检方再决定是否承诺新的审判日期或重审的具体细节。

"I am not going to have this woman sit incarcerated for the next year or two or three," he said. "I want a date and I want it this spring." But prosecutor Jennifer Sprague said she wants to hear Judge Sullivan's rulings on Monday's arguments before the prosecution commits to a new date or specifics for a potential retrial.

当法官询问检方计划如何推进潜在重审的更多细节时,斯普拉格回应称:“这将是一场重审——具体呈现什么样子将视情况而定。”但这一回应似乎让雷丁顿感到沮丧。

When the judge asked for more details on how prosecutors planned to proceed with a potential retrial, Sprague responded: "This would be a retrial - as to what that looks like will depend". But that appeared to frustrate Reddington.

“为什么我们不知道下一次审判会是一级谋杀还是较轻的指控,为什么他们要等待动议?我需要在后勤层面上了解情况。”克兰西被控三项一级谋杀罪,即蓄意且预谋杀害他人。

"Why do we not know if the next trial is going to be murder in the first degree or a lesser charge, why do they need to wait for the motions? I need to know logistically." Clancy was charged with three counts of first-degree-murder, which is the intentional and premeditated killing of another person.

检方可能决定在重审中对克兰西提出较轻的指控。例如,二级谋杀指控适用于带有恶意或极度鲁莽实施、但无预谋的非法杀人行为。

Prosecutors could decide to bring lesser charges against Clancy in a retrial. For example, second-degree-murder charges, apply to unlawful killings committed with malice or extreme recklessness, but without prior planning.

尽管斯普拉格在法庭上发表了声明,但地区检察官蒂莫西·克鲁兹尚未确认克兰西将面临重审,也未公布该案的未来计划。

Despite Sprague's statement in court, District Attorney Timothy Cruz has not yet confirmed that Clancy will face a retrial and has not announced future plans for the case.

周一法庭上的大部分讨论集中在唯一一名持不同意见的陪审员(即“陪审员多伊”)以及辩方对他的调查上。陪审员多伊与其他陪审员意见不合,其他陪审员似乎倾向于以精神失常为由判定克兰西无罪。由于无法达成一致,陪审团陷入僵局,法官宣布审判无效。

Much of Monday's conversations in court focused on the one holdout juror, also known as Juror Doe, and the defence's investigation into him. Juror Doe disagreed with the other jurors, who appeared to want to find Clancy not guilty by way of insanity. The lack of agreement led to a hung jury and mistrial.

在周长达三小时的听证会中最激烈的时刻,雷丁顿要求提供大量证据,包括那名持不同意见陪审员的手机和通话记录。

In some of the most fiery moments of the three-hour hearing on Monday, Reddington requested a plethora of evidence including the holdout juror's phone and phone records.

代表陪审员多伊的律师希瑟·奥康纳表示,她出庭是因为克兰西的辩方团队“将几项指控结合在一起”,试图辩称不应宣布审判无效。这正是沙利文法官表示将在几周内裁决的动议之一。

Heather O'Connor, the attorney who represents Juror Doe, said she was in court because Clancy's defence team has "combined several allegations" to try to argue that a mistrial should not have been declared, she said. That is among the motions Sullivan said he will rule on in a few weeks.

克兰西不否认杀害了自己的孩子,但她的辩方团队辩称,案发时她患有严重的产后精神病。检方则主张杀人行为是蓄意的。

Clancy does not deny killing her children, but her defence team argues she was suffering from severe postpartum psychosis at the time. Prosecutors claim the killings were intentional.
