Lindsay Clancy heads back to court as her lawyers describe her state after mistrial

Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother who faced a high-profile murder trial for the deaths of her three children, is headed back to court. CBS News' Shanelle Kaul reports.

Lindsay Clancy's defense attorney, Kevin Reddington, expressed his hopes for a retrial in March, as Judge William Sullivan indicated a preference for that date. Prosecutors have not yet decided on the specific charges Clancy would face in the retrial, which could range from first-degree murder to second-degree murder or no charges at all.

Reddington questioned the delay in setting a trial date and the lack of clarity on the charges, emphasizing the need for a definite plan. The judge, however, indicated that he leans towards a March retrial in Plymouth Superior Court.
