Mistrial declared in Lindsay Clancy case as jury deadlocks 11-1
–
Neutral summary
A Massachusetts judge declared a mistrial in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, who was accused of strangling her three children, after jurors said for the third time they could not reach a unanimous verdict. Reports indicate 11 of 12 jurors favored acquittal on grounds of insanity, with a single holdout blocking the decision. The defense argued Clancy suffered from postpartum psychosis and had requested the removal of that juror, but the judge declined. Prosecutors are now weighing whether to retry the case, while a fundraiser for Clancy has surpassed $1.1 million.
