[^1]\n\nOn 5 September 2026, a judge declared a mistrial in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy after jurors failed to reach a unanimous verdict. [^2]\n\nPolice and Will County prosecutors said on 2026-09-01 that Corie Walsh, 40, of Frankfort, Illinois, was charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the death of her 2-year-old son Barrett Walsh. [^3]\n\nWill County prosecutors said a neighbor found Barrett Walsh hanging from a beam with a rope around his neck in the basement of the family's home in Frankfort, Illinois, on the afternoon of 2026-09-01. [^4]\n\nWill County prosecutors said Walsh told officers she killed Barrett because he was the 'devil' and the 'antichrist'. [^5]\n\nAn international panel of judges declared the case against Lindsay Clancy invalid. [^6]\n\nA day before the mistrial in Lindsay Clancy's trial, the jury foreperson informed the judge that one juror refused to follow court instructions on reasonable doubt, offering an unusual glimpse into a conflict within the deliberation room. [^7]\n\nThe judge in Lindsay Clancy's trial initially said he would declare a mistrial on Friday, but then reversed and gave Clancy's defense attorney the opportunity to present an appeal to the state's highest appeals court. [^8]\n\nThe mistrial in Lindsay Clancy's trial, declared on the seventh day of deliberations, leaves the case unresolved and allows prosecutors to retry Clancy. [^9]\n\nAccording to prosecutors and the Will County coroner's office, the neighbor performed CPR and called 911, but Barrett was cold and had no pulse, and he was later declared dead at Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox, Illinois. [^10]\n\nThe case involving Lindsay Clancy has attracted millions of viewers globally in recent times. [^11]\n\nThe international panel failed to reach an agreement regarding Lindsay Clancy's guilt.
