US Mother Faces Retrial After Mistrial in Children’s Murder Case Citing Mental Illness
Lindsay Clancy, a former nurse from Massachusetts, is on trial for the January 2023 murders of her three children. She pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, citing postpartum psychosis that impaired her understanding and control. The first trial ended in a mistrial due to a jury deadlock, with most jurors favoring a mental disorder defense. Prosecutors argue she acted intentionally and plan to retry her unless a defense motion to dismiss is granted. A retrial could occur in March 2027.
