In the courts
- A Massachusetts judge declared a mistrial in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial but temporarily stayed the ruling to allow an appeal.
- The jury was deadlocked 11-1, with the majority apparently favoring a verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity.
A judge declared a mistrial Friday in the high-profile case of Lindsay Clancy, who is accused of killing her three children, but immediately put the decision on hold.
Judge William Sullivan froze the ruling for one hour so Clancy’s defense lawyer, Kevin Reddington, could appeal to a higher court. The case was being tried at Plymouth County Superior Court in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
The jury remained deadlocked at 11-1. The majority apparently leaned toward finding Clancy not guilty by reason of insanity.
