Overview
- Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial after a 12‑member jury reported a third deadlock following roughly seven days of deliberations and more than 35 hours spent weighing evidence.
- Three jurors who spoke publicly said the panel was effectively 11‑1 in favor of finding Clancy not criminally responsible for killing her three children but one male juror refused to agree despite, they say, admitting he had reasonable doubt.
- The jury foreperson and two other jurors described the holdout as largely unwilling to engage with evidence and juror explanations, and they said Sullivan individually questioned jurors and re‑read instructions without removing the holdout.
- Defense lawyer Kevin Reddington has asked President Trump to consider a pardon and said he is open to negotiating with the district attorney while Clancy remains under court‑ordered psychiatric care at Tewksbury Hospital.
- The mistrial leaves open whether prosecutors will seek a new trial and keeps in public view contested questions about postpartum psychosis, medication management and telemedicine prescribing that featured heavily in testimony.
