A Massachusetts judge declared a mistrial after jurors failed to reach a unanimous decision in the case against Lindsay Clancy, who admitted killing her three young children.
Clancy, 36, said she strangled five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson and eight-month-old Callan. She argued that she suffered from postpartum psychosis, a condition her defense said made her not criminally responsible.
