[^1]\n\nThe judge in the Massachusetts trial of Lindsay Clancy instructed the jury to continue deliberating after the panel reported it could not reach a unanimous verdict in the case of the mother accused of killing her three children. [^2]\n\nMassachusetts authorities confirmed that residents using certain unvented liquid-fuel heaters face fines of up to $100. [^3]\n\nClancy's defense attorney argued during the trial that Lindsay Clancy loved her children but killed them because postpartum psychosis caused her to lose her grip on reality, and that she had sought treatment for her worsening mental health, including a stay in a psychiatric hospital.
