The jury in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial in Plymouth, Massachusetts, planned to deliberate a fifth day on Wednesday, Sept. 2, 2026, on whether Clancy was criminally responsible for strangling her three children in 2023. ^[1] If the jury cannot reach a verdict, a mistrial will be declared and the case will return to the status quo ante. ^[2] Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse, admitted to strangling her children but claimed postpartum psychosis caused her actions. ^[3] The Lindsay Clancy jury sent Judge William Sullivan a note stating they could not reach a unanimous verdict on her criminal responsibility for killing her three children. ^[4] Lindsay Clancy, a 36-year-old former labour and delivery nurse, is charged with murder and is currently held at a psychiatric hospital awaiting resolution. ^[5] After the killings, Clancy's husband found her badly injured in the yard, where she landed after jumping from a second-story window, and she was left paralyzed from the waist down. ^[6] Brad Bailey, a Boston defense attorney and former prosecutor not involved in the case, said that defense lawyers would at least explore a resolution if the threat of a retrial on murder charges is re-introduced. ^[7] Conflicting testimony exists regarding Clancy's postpregnancy mental health during the time of the killings. ^[8] A mistrial would allow prosecutors to retry the case with a new jury or offer a plea deal, per defense attorney Brad Bailey. ^[9] Prosecutors argue Clancy knew her actions, while defense experts testified about her mental health decline and psychiatric treatment. ^[10]
