The closely watched case of Lindsay Clancy, a Massachusetts mother accused of taking the lives of her three children, ended in disappointment for both the defense and prosecution on Friday, September 4, after the judge declared a mistrial.
The development came after the jury reached an impasse, with 11 members favoring an acquittal on the first-degree homicide charges on the grounds of insanity, while one believed the 36-year-old should be convicted.
The lone holdout, a man, was reportedly prepared to reject the court’s instructions regarding reasonable doubt.
