Lindsay Clancy will face a new trial in Massachusetts for the deaths of her three children, prosecutors said. She appeared in court after a mistrial, and the defense highlighted alleged juror misconduct and the judge’s questioning as factors that affected the earlier proceeding. The judge has not yet decided whether to dismiss the case or order a new trial, and it is still unclear if a retrial would run afoul of double‑jeopardy rules, according to several newsrooms.

Snap has agreed to settle a lawsuit that claimed its platform contributed to teenage depression and eating‑disorder issues. The plaintiffs said they began watching videos on a major video‑sharing site as young as three and started using other social‑media services around age nine, later developing compulsive usage habits they linked to features such as autoplay and endless scrolling.

Anthropic has changed the system prompt for its Claude Code tool to block attempts to recreate existing video games.

On the day before the November 3 election, the Justice Department asked the Supreme Court to step in and overturn lower‑court rulings that denied a request to have California discard ballots from people the administration says are likely non‑citizens. The request specifically seeks to set aside about twenty thousand ballots that officials allege belong to non‑citizens.
