Trials
Weinberg entered for a double-jeopardy motion. That filing is not a dismissal.
The mistrial stands, and Sept. 29 is the status date. Patrick's 60 Minutes hour does not set the retrial.

A limited appearance is a lawyer signing onto one fight. It is not the fight won. Martin G. Weinberg filed in Plymouth Superior Court on Sept. 15–16 to handle a forthcoming motion to dismiss Lindsay Clancy’s murder case on double-jeopardy grounds after the Sept. 4 mistrial. Hung-jury retrials are usually allowed. The defense will have to show this hang was the rare kind that bars a second panel. Plymouth County still has not announced a retrial. Sept. 29 remains the public date. A motion can lose. Karen Read’s similar post-mistrial dismissal effort did.
As of Thursday, Sept. 17, 2026, the first trial is over and the charges are not. Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial after the jury would not return a unanimous finding. Holdout-juror interviews, including a TMZ account that the holdout, through an interviewer, said he believed she was guilty from day one, are publicity. They are not a verdict form. Patrick Clancy’s 60 Minutes sit-down, set to air Sunday, is the same category: grief and conspiracy talk. It does not decide the district attorney’s next step.
Weinberg’s notice says he is in for the dismissal motion and related matters. Kevin Reddington remains trial counsel. Possible outcomes after Sept. 29 still include a retrial, a reduced-charge discussion, a granted dismissal, or no second trial. NCR, if it ever returns as a finding, is a hospital-commitment track in Massachusetts — not walking free. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Nathan Lee Lowe pleaded guilty to first-degree murder, and the court sentenced him to life without parole.
A guilty plea and a life term are the judgment on the counts he admitted. They are not a jury verdict, and the public accounts still do not name a weapon or a medical cause beyond trauma. WACB’s plea story says deputies found “obvious severe trauma.” WHKY, carrying that story, says “severe trauma.” The Taylorsville Times, citing Sheriff Chad Pennell the day after the 2024 arrest, said “apparent trauma” and listed Lowe’s age then as 39. The plea coverage lists him as 41.

A Marion County jury convicted Roderick Watson Jr., and the judge sentenced him to life.
A life term after a guilty verdict is the judgment on that count. It is not a second look at the self-defense claim the jury rejected. The State Attorney's Office says deputies found four gunshot wounds. Law & Crime, citing the arrest affidavit, says six. The office's release places the school "in Citrus." WFTV places it in Citra. The name on the office's release is Jaurez. Three other outlets spell it Juarez.

Judge Morgan sentenced Dylan Cody Lamb to life for killing Nadyne Marie Tillman.
Friday's order is the sentence on an August jury verdict. Keys News, citing the State Attorney's Office, reported life without parole plus two five-year terms that run together. Keys Weekly reported the verdict as second-degree murder, false imprisonment, and tampering with evidence. The Miami Herald's conviction story called one of those counts kidnapping. The judgment Keys News reported Friday used the false-imprisonment label.
