Will Lindsay Clancy go free? She admitted killing her children, but judge declares mistrial

The trial of Lindsay Clancy, the U.S. nurse accused of killing her three children, ended without a verdict after the jury failed to reach an agreement during a week of deliberations.

Under local law, jurors must reach a unanimous conclusion beyond a reasonable doubt. Because they could not do so, a judge declared the trial a mistrial.

The outcome leaves the case unresolved and raises the question of whether Clancy could eventually be released. The article identifies her as having admitted to killing her children.
