A judge declared a mistrial on Friday in the case of Lindsay Clancy, a 36-year-old nurse from Plymouth, Massachusetts, accused of killing her three children. [^4]

Defense attorney Kevin Reddington argued that the holdout juror created a clear and present danger and requested an emergency stay to replace the juror. [^5]

Lindsay Clancy is charged with the January 2023 strangulation deaths of her three children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan, inside their Duxbury home. [^6]

The jury, composed of nine women and three men, was on its seventh day of deliberations when the foreperson informed the judge that a single juror would not follow court instructions about reasonable doubt. [^7]

Reports indicate that eleven jurors were ready to acquit the defendant, but one juror blocked the unanimous decision required for a verdict. [^8]

The defense argued that the defendant was not criminally responsible due to severe postpartum psychosis, a rare condition involving delusions or loss of contact with reality. [^9]

Lindsay Clancy never denied killing her three children but claimed she suffered from postpartum psychosis when she strangled them. [^10]

Prosecutors argued that Lindsay Clancy knew what she was doing and acted deliberately when she strangled her children. [^11]
