Breaking: Lindsay Clancy Trial Ends in Mistrial as Jury Comes Up Hung

Twelve jurors. Five weeks of testimony. Not one verdict.

Lindsay Clancy's murder trial ended the way a lot of people watching this case predicted it might — in a deadlock. The Duxbury, Massachusetts mother, 34, was charged with three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation in the January 24, 2023 deaths of her children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — allegedly strangled with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home. She pleaded not guilty. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington built his case on an insanity defense, arguing severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. After the killings, Clancy allegedly tried to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window; she's been paralyzed from the waist down since. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan, where he's spoken openly about her mental health.

The jury — nine women, three men — deliberated more than 39 hours across seven days and told Judge William F. Sullivan three times they were deadlocked. Reddington tried to pull a holdout juror off the panel at the eleventh hour, then took the fight to the state's highest court when Sullivan wouldn't budge. The court denied it. Sullivan had no choice left — he declared a mistrial.

Now it's on Plymouth County District Attorney Tim Cruz to decide whether Massachusetts tries this case again with twelve new people in the box. He's not deciding today. What's already on the books: a status and motion hearing September 29. The case isn't closed. It's on pause.
