Jury Deadlocked in Mother’s Trial | Charlotte News

A Massachusetts mother paralyzed after a suicide attempt is on trial for killing her three children, as the jury deadlocks after weeks of deliberation. One juror defied the judge’s instructions, sparking tension — but the judge refused to remove them, staying neutral in private discussions. The defendant admits to the killings and her self-harm, claiming postpartum psychosis, while prosecutors argue she was fully aware. Her husband was sent away before the murders, and her suicide attempt is being scrutinized. Public debate swirls over maternal mental health and culpability. If no verdict emerges, a mistrial could force prosecutors to retry, plea, or drop charges — and even an acquittal might lead to involuntary psychiatric commitment if deemed dangerous.
