Judge William Sullivan, presiding over Lindsay Clancy's triple-murder trial in Massachusetts, ordered the jury on the fifth day of deliberations to continue deliberating after it sent a second note indicating a deadlock, ended the day's session, and scheduled the jury to reconvene the following Thursday morning. ^[1] Lindsay Clancy, a 36-year-old former nurse, faces three murder charges for strangling her children Cora (5), Dawson (3), and Callan (8 months) on 2023-01-24 in their Duxbury, Massachusetts home, after which she attempted suicide and became partially paralyzed. ^[2] Lindsay Clancy admitted that she killed her three children but said the tragedy happened because she suffered from postpartum psychosis. ^[3] The judge in the Lindsay Clancy trial said he felt he had no choice but to declare the trial invalid (a mistrial), as reported by Reuters. ^[4] The jury in the trial of Lindsay Clancy in the U.S. state of Massachusetts failed to reach an agreement on whether she should be found guilty of killing her three children. ^[5] If the jury again reports that it cannot reach a verdict, Judge Sullivan has the authority to declare a mistrial in the case. ^[6] Prosecutors argued that Clancy knew what she was doing and made the conscious decision to kill her children. ^[7] The prosecutors in the case agreed that the trial should be declared invalid, while Lindsay Clancy's defense lawyer argued against it. ^[8]
