Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial in the case of Lindsay Clancy after the jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict following seven days of deliberations. ^[1] Lindsay Clancy, a 36-year-old nurse from Massachusetts, admitted to causing the deaths of her three children-Cora, Dawson, and Callan-in January 2023 in Duxbury, Massachusetts. ^[2] A Massachusetts judge declared a mistrial in the trial of Lindsay Clancy, a 36-year-old former nurse accused of strangling her three children in January 2023. ^[3] The trial to decide if Lindsay Clancy was criminally responsible when she strangled her three children in 2023 ended in a mistrial on Friday, September 4, 2026, after jurors were unable to reach a consensus. ^[4] The nullification of the trial does not imply acquittal or conviction; the Plymouth County District Attorney's Office must now decide whether to request a new trial, negotiate an agreement, or abandon the case. ^[5] The prosecution argued that Clancy acted in a planned and conscious manner, utilizing her husband's absence to commit the murders, and knew her acts were wrong. ^[6] Defense attorney Kevin Reddington said the jury forewoman reported that a male juror refused to apply legal instructions on reasonable doubt, and Reddington claimed the juror was lying and unsuccessfully requested his removal or individual questioning. ^[7] The Plymouth County District Attorney's office is evaluating legal options, including a second trial, a plea deal, or dismissing the charges. ^[8] Judge William Sullivan set a hearing for September 29, 2026, to determine the path forward for the case. ^[9] Jurors were unable to reach a consensus after weeks of conflicting testimony about Clancy's post-pregnancy mental health and seven days of deliberations. ^[10] Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz stated that his goal was always getting justice for the three children and that there would not be an immediate decision about a second trial. ^[11]
