Mistrial Declared in Lindsay Clancy Murder Case.

The jury in the Lindsay Clancy trial returned Friday for a seventh day of deliberations, still deadlocked. The foreperson's note Thursday told Judge Sullivan that one juror acknowledges doubt but will not apply it to a verdict.

• Jury has notified the court twice that it cannot reach a verdict.
• Thursday, Sullivan questioned each of the 12 jurors individually and privately.
• Postpartum psychosis affects an estimated 1 to 2 per 1,000 women after delivery.
• Reddington filed a motion Friday demanding all proceedings move out of private sidebars.

Why it matters: Clancy, 36, does not deny strangling her three children — Cora, Dawson and Callan, ages 5, 3 and 8 months — in 2023. The jury must decide whether postpartum psychosis stripped her of criminal responsibility.

• A mistrial would force prosecutors to choose between retrying the case, pursuing a plea, or dropping charges.
• Even an acquittal would not guarantee Clancy's release; a judge could still commit her to a mental health facility.

Where they split: The defense argues the holdout juror is refusing to follow the law; prosecutors argue the note shows a disagreement over evidence — which is normal deliberation.

What’s next: Sullivan declined to remove or further question the holdout juror Friday.

• Criminal defense attorney Joseph Krowski Jr. said one more impasse communication would require a mistrial.
• Will the jury reach a verdict, or will Sullivan ultimately declare a mistrial?
• If a mistrial is declared, will prosecutors retry the case or negotiate with Reddington?
