Lindsay Clancy in court to drop child murder charges after mistrial

Lindsay Clancy, accused of killing her three young children at their home in Duxbury, Massachusetts, appeared in court on Monday seeking to have the first-degree murder charges dismissed. Her lawyer, Martin G. Weinberg, argued that a retrial would violate her constitutional rights and said Judge William Sullivan should have investigated further after the jury foreperson reported that a juror was not following the rules. The trial ended in a mistrial in August after jurors failed to reach a verdict. Prosecutors intend to retry Clancy if the case proceeds, but have not decided whether to pursue the same charges.

Trump asks Supreme Court to block 20,000 California ballots before midterms

Donald Trump’s administration asked the Supreme Court on Monday to stop California from counting mail-in ballots from more than 20,000 voters it claims are not US citizens, one day before the midterm elections. The Justice Department wants ballots linked to a Department of Homeland Security list set aside until the voters’ citizenship status is confirmed. California says the list is unreliable and may include thousands of eligible US citizens, while state officials say separating the ballots would be nearly impossible. A federal judge and an appeals court rejected the request; Judge David Carter warned that discounting votes based on unproven allegations would put democracy in danger.

17 Abducted Kaduna Worshippers Died in Captivity, CSW Says

Christian Solidarity Worldwide Nigeria said 17 of the 37 worshippers abducted during attacks on three churches in Ariko, Kaduna State, on April 5, 2026, died in captivity; 12 escaped and eight were released after five months. CEO Rev. Yunusa Nmadu also reported that six of 11 people abducted in Awon on April 20 were killed, while four remained captive six months later. He recalled the January abduction of 177 worshippers in Kurmin Wali, who were released after 18 days, and said insecurity had restricted worship and forced thousands of residents to flee. Nmadu also alleged that captives faced sexual violence, food and water deprivation, and other inhumane treatment.
