Lindsay Clancy mistrial leaves prosecutors to decide whether to try again

The trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother accused of murdering her three children, ended without a verdict after jurors failed to reach a unanimous decision.

Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial after the 12-person jury, made up of nine women and three men, could not agree on the case. Notes given to the court indicated that the jury was split 11 to one.

The mistrial effectively returns the case to the position it occupied before the trial began. Prosecutors must now decide whether to try Clancy again.
