Mistrial declared in the Lindsay Clancy case.
A Massachusetts jury could not reach a unanimous verdict after seven days of deliberations in the trial of Lindsay Clancy, the former nurse charged with murdering her three young children.
Clancy admitted she strangled 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Callan in their Duxbury home in January 2023. Her defense argued she was not criminally responsible due to postpartum psychosis and overmedication. Prosecutors said she planned the killings and knew right from wrong.
The jury reported being deadlocked multiple times. Reports indicate an 11-1 split, with one juror refusing to follow the judge’s instructions on reasonable doubt. Judge William Sullivan said he would declare a mistrial and gave the defense one hour to seek an emergency appeal.
Clancy remains in custody. Prosecutors now decide whether to retry the case, pursue a plea, or drop the charges.

Even in prison, there are a few things the other prisoners will not tolerate.
Men who go to prison for harming or killing small children do not fare very well.
Other inmates put them at the bottom of the pile.
Guards know it. That is why so many of these men are housed in protective custody instead of general population.
The rest of the yard will not have them.
Even among the worst of the worst there is a line they believe should not be crossed.
A man can be in for robbery, drugs, even murder, and still treat a crime against a child as a different category.
They call those inmates names and will not eat or sit with them.
Jeffrey Dahmer murdered 17 people, some of them boys.
Prison officials kept him isolated at first because they knew what would happen if they did not. He was later put in general population. On November 28, 1994, another inmate killed him.
