Lindsay Clancy, meanwhile, awaited a verdict in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in her trial for the alleged murder of the former couple\u2019s three young children.<\/p>\n

The 12-person jury, made up of nine women and three men, was deliberating whether to convict the 36-year-old mother of fatally strangling her kids, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, on Jan. 24, 2023.<\/p>\n

Defense argued Lindsay Clancy was in the throes of postpartum psychosis, worsened by a myriad of prescription medications \u2014 while prosecutors countered that she was in her right mind and had carefully planned the killings.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the latest on Lindsay Clancy\u2019s murder trial:<\/p>\n

The grueling trial kicked off with Patrick Clancy testifying \u2014 telling the jury that his ex-wife repeatedly sought help for her worsening mental state in the months leading up to the killings.<\/p>\n

He hauntingly recounted how he returned to the family home in Duxbury to find Lindsay Clancy in the backyard after a suicide attempt, before discovering his three kids unresponsive in the basement.<\/p>\n

In a harrowing 911 call played to the jury, Patrick Clancy could be heard screaming: \u201cShe killed the kids.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, following five weeks of testimony, the panel endured seven days of deliberation before Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial.<\/p>\n

The jury sent a total of three notes indicating they were deadlocked, triggering Sullivan to send them back to deliberate more and then invoke the \u201cTuey-Rodriguez\u201d charge, before eventually declaring a mistrial Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Patrick Clancy\u2019s attorney, David Meier, issued a statement following the mistrial decision, saying his client is \u201cgrateful to the Court and to the jurors for their hard work, their commitment, and their perseverance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe loss of Patrick\u2019s children is something from which he will never recover and from which there will never be closure,\u201d it read. \u201cThe prospect of reliving this tragedy through another trial is extraordinarily painful \u2014 for Patrick, for his family, and for all us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lindsay Clancy\u2019s ex-husband was seen holding hands and smiling with his new wife in the Big Apple earlier…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":338788,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[45272,115616,11539,238,9,24,55,54,56,4721,58],"class_list":["post-338787","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-divorces","tag-lindsay-clancy","tag-massachusetts","tag-murders","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-city-headlines","tag-new-york-city-news","tag-ny","tag-trials","tag-us-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/338787","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=338787"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/338787\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/338788"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=338787"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=338787"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=338787"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
