background
Lindsay Clancy trial ends in mistrial after jury deadlock — After several weeks of testimony and approximately 38 hours of deliberation, jurors deadlocked on three counts of first-degree murder. The vote was 11-1 in favor of acquitting Clancy based on her insanity defense—that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis when she killed her children. Judge William F. Sullivan declared a mistrial.

background
Lindsay Clancy kills three children in Duxbury home — Lindsay Clancy strangled her three children—5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Callan—in the basement of their family home. She then cut her wrists and neck and jumped from a second-story window in a failed attempt to end her own life. Patrick Clancy discovered his severely injured wife outside and the bodies of the children when he returned from picking up a takeout order.
