A judge declared a mistrial in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial on Friday after the jury deadlocked following seven days of deliberation in a case spanning 41 days of testimony. Clancy's defense attorney Kevin Reddington filed an emergency appeal to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court before the mistrial was formally declared, arguing that one juror was preventing unanimity and that Clancy was experiencing postpartum psychosis. The mistrial leaves Clancy's criminal liability undecided, though prosecutors maintained the case was not about the healthcare system or how women are treated medically. The case now remains in limbo as to whether there will be a retrial or other proceedings.
