Lindsay Clancy judge declares a mistrial after the state’s top court denies defense’s appeal
- On Friday, Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial in Lindsay Clancy's murder case after the 12-person jury reported being hopelessly deadlocked following seven days of deliberations.
- The trial examined whether Clancy was criminally responsible for the 2023 strangulation deaths of her three children—Cora, Dawson, and Callan Clancy—after defense attorneys argued she suffered from undiagnosed postpartum psychosis.
- Plymouth County Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Sprague argued Clancy deliberately planned the murders, while defense attorney Kevin Reddington blamed "the damn medicine and the lousy medical care that she got."
- Before the mistrial was finalized, the Supreme Judicial Court denied an emergency appeal from defense associate Dana Goldblatt seeking to remove a holdout juror, leaving the mistrial declaration in place.
- Prosecutors may now seek a retrial, a path taken in the recent high-profile case of Karen Read, though the district attorney has not yet announced a formal decision regarding Clancy's future.
