  • A mistrial ended Lindsay Clancy’s trial after the jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict following five weeks of testimony and seven days of deliberations.
  • Clancy faces charges in the deaths of her three children, with her lawyers citing postpartum psychosis and prosecutors arguing that she planned the killings.

Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial ended without a verdict after five weeks of testimony and seven days of jury deliberations. The jury deadlocked, leaving the case unresolved and raising the question of what happens next.

Clancy’s lawyers argued that she experienced postpartum psychosis and should not be held criminally responsible for the deaths of her three children. Prosecutors took the opposite view, saying she planned the killings in advance.

Ali Rogin discussed the case with Brad Bailey after the mistrial. The deadlocked jury means the arguments over Clancy’s mental state and responsibility did not produce a unanimous conclusion.
