Lindsay Clancy's Judge Declares Mistrial. Why?

Andrea Yates was the name people used before Lindsay Clancy. Now Clancy is the name people use instead of learning anything. A hung jury just made that shorthand a lot more complicated.  Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, was on trial for allegedly killing her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, reportedly using exercise resistance bands. She's charged with three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation and pleaded not guilty. Her defense, led by attorney Kevin Reddington, centered on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication, arguing a medical system documented her crisis and failed to intervene before it was too late. Clancy reportedly attempted suicide after the killings and has been paralyzed from the waist down since. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan.  Nine women and three men sat through five weeks, eighty-plus witnesses, and three hundred exhibits — then told the judge three separate times they couldn't reach a verdict. Reddington's attempt to remove a holdout juror got rejected all the way up to the state's highest court. Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial after thirty-nine-plus hours of deadlock.  Plymouth County's DA is deciding whether to retry, with a status hearing already on the books. But the bigger question doesn't belong to a courtroom. Two-thirds of mothers who kill their children had a documented psychiatric history. More than twenty countries treat postpartum psychiatric crisis differently under the law than premeditated murder. America still doesn't. We're asking what "another Lindsay Clancy" really means — and who it lets everyone else off the hook for. Links Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
