Overview
- Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial on Friday after a 12‑person jury reported three notes that it was deadlocked and could not reach a unanimous verdict.
- Three jurors told NBC10 Boston that the panel split 11‑1 in favor of not guilty by reason of insanity but that one male holdout admitted he had reasonable doubt and still refused to join an acquittal.
- Jurors described the holdout as largely disengaged and dismissive of other members’ readings of medical and toxicology evidence, and the judge twice re‑read instructions on reasonable doubt without changing the impasse.
- Defense attorney Kevin Reddington publicly asked President Donald Trump to consider a pardon for Clancy, though presidential pardons do not apply to state prosecutions; Clancy remains under court‑ordered psychiatric care at Tewksbury State Hospital.
- Plymouth County District Attorney Tim Cruz has not announced whether he will retry the case and a Sept. 29 status hearing is scheduled to determine the next steps while the trial keeps the spotlight on postpartum mental‑health care and related civil claims.
