For anyone following the story, one fact is especially important:
A mistrial is not an acquittal.
And the September 29 hearing did not produce a final determination of Clancy’s guilt or innocence.
The court’s next major step is expected in November, when Judge Sullivan considers additional motions and the parties address what happens next.
For that reason, social-media posts claiming that a judge has already delivered a definitive final decision should be read carefully.
The legal process is still unfolding.
And until the court issues further rulings, the final chapter of the Lindsay Clancy case has not yet been written.
