Lindsay Clancy returns to court for first time since murder trial ended with deadlocked jury

PLYMOUTH, Mass. (AP) — Lindsay Clancy returned to court Tuesday for a hearing that could help decide whether she will face a second trial for killing her three young children.

It was Clancy’s first return to the courthouse since her initial trial ended Sept. 4 with a deadlocked jury. A judge declared a mistrial with the jury split 11 to 1 in favor of acquitting Clancy of murder charges.

Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse, never disputed that she killed the children, but her attorney said she had a rare condition called postpartum psychosis and was delusional and not responsible for her actions.

Prosecutors acknowledged that Clancy, 36, had mental health problems that included months of treatment and a stay in a psychiatric hospital, but argued that she knew what she was doing when she strangled the children then tried to kill herself in 2023.

It will be a cold day in hell before they ever get me on a jury again. The trouble with this country’s shabby judiciary is now they are trying the jurors to thanks to corrupt morons like Reddington.

I’m betting that murdering witch will not see another trial. A deal will be struck and that scum lawyer of hers will not be disciplined for his outrageous actions.

I'd guess her "suicide attempt" was to make it look like she was crazy. But I think she knew what she was doing.

What is not being addressed: Demonic possession is not a pretty sight. She knew exactly what she was doing, but did it anyway as result. The lone jury member understood this. The rest silently deny its possibility, and many sought to make their decision a ‘landmark case’ to allow further unrestrained and unpunished demonic attacks on the family, children specifically. I can only imagine the attacks this guy came under in the jury room. He is an absolute bad ass hero in my book.

Demonic I think applies to the witches who wanted to turn her loose.

This cannot go to trial. It was too close and a hung jury gives the commie trash demonstrators the position they need: “She was not guilty. See. Told yah so.”

And now keep track of more murders like this. More murders justified by mental/drug imbalance. Like tranny hormones.

Wasn't the first trial to determine if she was competent to stand trial for murder charges?

If so, this is deceptively worded as this would be the FIRST trial for killing her three young children.

Clancy could have been sentenced to life in prison if convicted of murder. If acquitted, the judge could have ordered her confined to a mental health facility.

This is what should have happened in the first place. The holdout juror is what kept this from happening.

As I understand it the central question was one of criminal responsibility and the hold out juror said she was criminally responsible, thus the retrial.

To me the hold out juror recognized a scam to avoid extensive prison time or a death penalty.

It's what defense attorneys do.

But that's just me.

I know “innocent until proven guilty” but is this murdering mother incarcerated?

Amending my earlier comment...
Massachusetts has no state-level death penalty so avoiding a life sentence was probably the defense goal.

But that's just me.

She was declared competent during her first trial.

When you can excuse killing children in the womb as “not children, only a clump of cells” and it doesn’t take much to stop thinking of actual children after they are born.

The “right to die with dignity” has now morphed into killing people against their will and disabled children...

The only people that they seem to care about living is depraved convicted murderers getting the death penalty...
