What's Next After Lindsay Clancy Mistrial? FBI Veteran Says Prosecution May Alter Approach

Clancy’s attorney says postpartum psychosis drove the killings as prosecutors weigh next steps after the jury could not reach a verdict.

  • On Friday, Sept. 4, 2026, Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial in the murder case of Lindsay Clancy after jurors deadlocked. The Massachusetts mother is accused of killing her three children in 2023.
  • Defense attorney Kevin Reddington argued that Clancy was overmedicated and suffering from postpartum psychosis, leaving her unable to control her conduct when she killed Cora, Dawson, and Callan.
  • Prosecutors countered that the killings reflected planning, timing, and purpose, citing evidence that Clancy used Apple Maps to calculate her husband's errand timing and distance.
  • Plymouth County District Attorney Tim Cruz stated he has not yet made an official decision regarding a retrial, saying he will address the case at the "appropriate time."
  • Former Chicago Police Superintendent Jody Weis anticipates prosecutors will pursue a second trial, though conflicting psychiatric testimony may complicate proving criminal responsibility.
