Trump After Lindsay Clancy Mistrial: 'There'll Be a Price'
Jurors deliberated 36 hours before deadlocking, and the judge rejected a last-minute bid to remove a juror before ending the case.
On Friday, Sept. 4, Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial in the murder case against Lindsay Clancy after jurors failed to reach a unanimous verdict following 38 hours of deliberation.
Prosecutors charged Clancy with first-degree murder in the 2023 deaths of her three children in Duxbury, though she pleaded not guilty, arguing she was overmedicated and suffering from postpartum psychosis.
The proceedings involved testimony from numerous mental health experts regarding Clancy's state of mind, while legal teams addressed a last-minute juror controversy that reached the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court before the mistrial.
President Trump called the case a "terrible situation" and "horrible tragedy," noting that Clancy will likely face "a price" through either jail or a mental institution.
Local prosecutors have not yet announced whether they will retry the case, leaving the future legal path for Clancy uncertain following the hung jury decision.
