Strangulation takes time: about 2 minutes for the victim to pass out and a couple more to make sure they're dead. She had to deliberately do this from one child to the next.
On the one hand, the fact that she planned this and carried it out but somehow- magically!- managed to not plan her own suicide effectively all strongly suggest she's a psychopath, not a mental case.
On the other hand, from my experience having taken some medication that completely removed any anxiety from doing utterly dangerous things, there is a legitimate question whether the meds turned her into a psychopath.
I can easily see how a jury could split, but only 1 holdout seems very strange.
“only 1 holdout seems very strange”
Not to me. My opinion on that is one person didn’t want to let what they believed was a murderer go free so the best they could do was hang the jury.
That’s exactly what I would have done.
One child ran to the father's office hoping to find him and get help, but he wasn't there. Lindsay Clancy chased their child down and strangled them.
