AP News in Brief at 12:04 a.m. EDT
The Lindsay Clancy murder trial concluded with a mistrial on Friday, July 16, 2023, after the jury could not reach a unanimous decision. Clancy, a 36-year-old former labor and delivery nurse, is accused of killing her three young children in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Her attorney argued that she suffered from postpartum psychosis at the time of the alleged crimes, which occurred in 2023. The case sparked nationwide debate over maternal mental health after childbirth.
Despite the failed verdict, Clancy and her family remained stoic as the judge declared the mistrial on the seventh day of deliberations. Neither showed any emotion during the announcement. The decision likely came as no surprise to those in the courtroom, given the contentious nature of the case.
