El juez amenaza con declarar nulo el juicio a Lindsay Clancy por matar a sus tres hijos por el bloqueo del jurado
El abogado de la acusada logra una hora de prórroga in extremis cuando el magistrado ya se disponía a anular el proceso, lo que aboca a la repetición del juicio o a un acuerdo entre defensa y acusación
The trial of Lindsay Clancy, a Massachusetts woman accused of strangling her three young children in 2023, has reached an impasse. According to Global News, the jury sent a note to the judge for a third time stating they were unable to reach a unanimous verdict on whether Clancy was criminally responsible for the killings.
Judge William Sullivan announced he would declare a mistrial, but gave Clancy's defense attorney, Kevin Reddington, an hour to appeal, as reported by CBS News and The Hill. Reddington plans to file an appeal with the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, citing concerns about a holdout juror, as per CBS News.
The trial, which has generated intense interest and divided public opinion, may be retried. Clancy's attorney argued that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis when she committed the crime, while prosecutors maintained she was criminally responsible, Global News reported.
