Mistrial Declared in Lindsay Clancy Murder Case.
The jury in the Lindsay Clancy trial returned Friday for a seventh day of deliberations, still deadlocked. The foreperson's note Thursday told Judge Sullivan that one juror acknowledges doubt but will not apply it to a verdict.
- Jury has notified the court twice that it cannot reach a verdict.
- Thursday, Sullivan questioned each of the 12 jurors individually and privately.
- Postpartum psychosis affects an estimated 1 to 2 per 1,000 women after delivery.
- Reddington filed a motion Friday demanding all proceedings move out of private sidebars.
Why it matters: Clancy, 36, does not deny strangling her three children — Cora, Dawson and Callan, ages 5, 3 and 8 months — in 2023. The jury must decide whether postpartum psychosis stripped her of criminal responsibility.
- A mistrial would force prosecutors to choose between retrying the case, pursuing a plea, or dropping charges.
- Even an acquittal would not guarantee Clancy's release; a judge could still commit her to a mental health facility.

Center coverage, 27 sources: The center focuses on procedural mechanics — the foreperson's note, the judge's legal constraints on juror removal, and the mistrial calculus.
