Thread theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkML_4j586Q https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/lindsay-clancy-jury-hopelessly-deadlocked-mistrial-declared-rcna594052 A Massachusetts judge said he would declare a mistrial Friday after the jury weighing the fate of Lindsay Clancy failed for the third time to reach a verdict in the case of the mother accused of the strangling deaths of her three young children in 2023. But in a dramatic courtroom moment, Clancy’s lawyer said he wanted to appeal to a higher court. The judge granted him one hour to do so. Judge William Sullivan made the announcement after the jury sent the court a note saying it was still deadlocked. “I’m going to declare a mistrial at this point,” Sullivan told the court Friday morning. Both the prosecution and defense were given the opportunity to opine on the decision after the third deadlock. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington fought hard against a mistrial, asking for a final emergency appeal to the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, but Sullivan seemed against bringing the jury back Saturday to continue deliberating should Reddington win the appeal. Sullivan told Reddington he had one hour to file an emergency stay before calling the jurors back to dismiss them. Clancy had pleaded not guilty to three first-degree murder charges in the deaths of Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months. But the jury remained deadlocked after a nearly six-week trial and seven days of deliberation. The jury was tasked with determining whether Clancy was criminally responsible in her children’s deaths, or whether she was not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility because of mental illness. Sullivan got the first deadlock note Tuesday, the fourth day of deliberations, and dismissed the jurors after asking them to continue to work toward a verdict. On Wednesday, the jury issued a second note saying it is “still unable to come to a unanimous decision.”

Sullivan, at that point, read the jurors what’s known as Tuey-Rodriguez instructions, which essentially asks them to give deliberations one last chance and tells them that it’s “desirable” they reach a verdict.Under Massachusetts law, a judge can only ask a jury to keep deliberating twice, unless it consents to further deliberations. If the jury still cannot reach a unanimous verdict after the third deadlock, the judge can declare a mistrial, which Sullivan did.Clancy’s defense argued she was not criminally responsible for the Jan. 24, 2023, killings because she was mentally ill with postpartum psychosis, a rare condition that can alter a new mother’s sense of reality and is considered a psychiatric emergency. It is more severe and less common than postpartum depression.Her attorneys argued that she had mentally deteriorated over the preceding months and, despite repeated efforts to seek psychiatric help including calling the suicide hotline, she was never properly diagnosed. Instead, she was given a spate of different medications over a matter of months to treat her symptoms or the adverse reactions to some of the medications.In closing arguments, Reddington blamed “the damn medicine and the lousy medical care that she got” for the trajectory from happy family to the murders.He claimed the prosecution was trying to manipulate the jury by portraying Clancy as control-obsessed and for downplaying the severity of her suicide attempt, which left her paralyzed from the waist down.He doubled down on Clancy’s claim that she heard a male voice compelling her to kill her kids — a point the prosecution has tried to pick apart in trial. She told a hospital chaplain about the voice, and told her then-husband over the phone in a call heard by a forensic psychologist.He also emphasized the testimony of forensic psychiatrist Dr. Phillip Resnick who concluded that Clancy was psychotic at the time of the murders.

Reminder that this trial isn't to determine whether or not she goes free. It's to determine if she goes to prison or a psyche ward.

I don't know any of these people, but it should be clear to most people that from the features of her face and the color of her skin that she is crazy. It can only be surprising that so many people relate to the situation

Pretty obvious at this point Clancy is not guilty and was gaslit by her husband into taking the blame.

Why do women even have the right to vote if they can't be responsible for their actions?

wow the pushover judge that let the procecutor literally bring up mortal sin twice and blatantly lie in front of cameras saying they weren't looking to argue that her sucide attempt was fake after a week of claiming it was superficial finally declares a mistrial.

Crazy how this case utterly exposed liggeral women as the child killing feminazis they are. No wonder they love abortion. Millions of innocent babies murdered per year.

The prosecution was very lazy with this case because they thought it was just going to be open and shut. From what I've seen leaked, everyone involved in this trial was retarded. The woman is very clearly deranged. The only question is why would you even risk rehabilitation for decades over life in prison or just the death penalty

I really think we should have a hybrid option with a set sentence mental asylum and prison. If you are in the mental asylum the whole time you either stay there because you still need it or are in outpatient now if you get declared sane during that period you finish your sentence in prison. This is just a base idea but I think it would work better with cases like this

Post partum psychosis isn't exactly a rare or unheard of disorder. My grandmother tried to kill my dad when he was a baby and ended up institutionalized for a bit. I don't get why people are freaking out about this shit.Lock her up til she's sane and move on. Shit happens. I swear to fuck right wingers will find any excuse to send a woman to prison. This isn't all that different from prosecuting women for having a miscarriage. I doubt she wanted to lose her kids when she got pregnant.

As a Democrat, I want to remind everyone that the only value children's lives have is to sexually pleasure the LGBTQ. This is true until they become humans at the age of 15 (grannies and grandpas). Until then I'll remind everyone today: Kill children. Behead children. Roundhouse kick a child into the concrete. Slam dunk a helpless child into the trashcan. Crucify filthy children. Defecate in a child's food. Launch children into the sun. Toss children into active volcanoes. Pee in a child's gas tank.This is the only rational solution to the problem.
