Lindsay Clancy judge declares a mistrial after the state’s top court denies defense’s appeal
The jury deadlocked after seven days of deliberations, and prosecutors will now decide whether to retry Clancy in the deaths of her three children.
- On Friday, Judge William Sullivan indicated a mistrial in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial after jurors remained deadlocked regarding her responsibility for the 2023 deaths of her three children.
- Clancy pleaded not guilty, with defense lawyers arguing she suffered from severe postpartum psychosis; prosecutors countered that she intentionally committed the acts, rejecting the mental health defense.
- After a six-week trial, jurors remained deadlocked; defense attorney Kevin Reddington cited a note from the foreperson indicating one holdout juror refused to change their vote despite an 11-1 split.
- A hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 29, to address defense motions and discuss a potential retrial, as Plymouth District Attorney Timothy Cruz considers whether to prosecute the case again.
- Legal analysts suggest a retrial is likely to prevent Clancy from going free, though prosecutors could still negotiate a plea agreement as the legal process moves forward.
