Key Facts

• Lindsay Clancy is accused of killing her three young children in Massachusetts in January 2023.
• Her defense says she was not responsible due to postpartum psychosis and overmedication.
• Prosecutors say Clancy planned the murders and knew right from wrong.
• The trial ended in a mistrial on September 4, 2026, after the jury could not reach a unanimous verdict.
• The jury was reportedly split 11 to 1, with one juror not following the court’s instructions about reasonable doubt.
• Clancy’s lawyer will ask the court to dismiss the case on double jeopardy grounds, meaning she can’t be tried twice for the same crime without a strong reason.
• The judge did not remove the holdout juror during the trial, which the lawyer argues was a mistake.
• Another possibility is a plea deal with lesser charges, but Clancy’s lawyer says she should not spend any time in jail.
