 Lindsay Clancy Case: DA Defends Murder Charges After Mistrial Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz is defending the decision to bring first-degree murder charges against Lindsay Clancy after her case ended in a mistrial.

  A small sticker spotted on Lindsay Clancy’s wheelchair has become an unexpected talking point as jurors continue deliberating in her closely watched Massachusetts murder trial. The pink sticker, reportedly attached to the drink holder of Clancy’s wheelchair, reads “#sidebah.” The detail was noticed by trial observers while the jury remained unable to reach a verdict.  New York Post +1 What Does “#SideBah” Mean? The phrase appears to be a playful reference to the word “sidebar,” a legal term used for private discussions between a judge and attorneys during a court proceeding. Reports have connected the wording to defense attorney Kevin Reddington, whose Boston accent has attracted attention during the trial. The spelling “sidebah” appears to mimic that pronunciation.  New York Post +1 However, there is no confirmed evidence that Clancy herself placed the sticker on the wheelchair. That distinction is important because much of the reaction surrounding the sticker has come...
