A mistrial was declared in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, a 36-year-old former nurse, who is accused of strangling her three children in 2023, according to Judge William Sullivan on Friday, September 4, 2026, in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Despite seven days of deliberation, jurors were unable to reach a consensus. Clancy, who maintains that postpartum psychosis drove her actions, remains charged and continues to be held in a psychiatric hospital.
Her defense attorney, Kevin Reddington, is set to make an argument for a not guilty verdict at a hearing scheduled for September 29, but this move is considered highly unlikely to succeed. The hearing may also determine if prosecutors will retry Clancy for a second time, seek a plea deal, or drop the charges altogether.
