Judge threatens to declare mistrial in Lindsay Clancy case for killing her three children over jury deadlock
The defendant's lawyer obtains a one-hour extension at the last minute, when the magistrate was about to dismiss the case, which leads to a repetition of the trial or an agreement between the defense and the prosecution.
The trial of Lindsay Clancy, a nurse who strangled her three children at her home outside Boston on January 24, 2023, has reached an impasse. The 12-member jury has been unable to reach a verdict after six weeks of deliberation. A mistrial is likely to be declared, which would mean the trial would have to be restarted. The case has garnered significant attention worldwide.
