Lindsay Clancy judge declares a mistrial after the state’s top court denies defense’s appeal

The deadlocked jury leaves prosecutors free to retry Clancy, while the defense had argued she was suffering from postpartum psychosis.

  • 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.
