After a jury deadlocked in Lindsay Clancy’s trial over the deaths of her three children, prosecutors said they want a retrial; the charges and whether a retrial proceeds remain unresolved.

Prosecutors said they plan to retry Clancy after the jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict, resulting in a mistrial.
The charges for a possible retrial have not been specified; a judge is expected to rule on a defense motion to dismiss before deciding whether the case proceeds.
The case concerns the deaths of Clancy’s three children in Duxbury, Massachusetts, in January 2023; Clancy’s defense attributed her actions to postpartum psychosis, while prosecutors disputed that explanation.
