Mistrial declared in Lindsay Clancy murder case, after jury deadlocks
The mistrial now puts the murder case - and Clancy's future - in limbo as to whether she will be held criminally liable in the deaths of her three kids.
A Massachusetts judge has declared a mistrial in the murder case against Lindsay Clancy after jurors, who deliberated for about a week, conceded they would not be able to unanimously decide whether she should be held criminally liable for killing her three young children.
The case against Clancy has both captivated and heavily divided the American public, even spurring remarks from the US president.
There was a sense of disbelief in the courtroom as the case - and Clancy's future - are now left in limbo.
It was then that Judge Sullivan said he had no choice but to declare a mistrial. Reddington immediately pleaded for a temporary pause so they could file an emergency appeal with the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.
