Judge declares mistrial in Lindsay Clancy murder trial after jury deadlocks 11-1

Lindsay Clancy admitted to strangling her three young children in January 2023 but argued she was not criminally responsible due to postpartum psychosis. On September 4, 2026, a judge declared a mistrial after the 12-member jury deadlocked 11-1 in favor of acquittal by reason of insanity. Following the mistrial, Clancy's attorney sought a Trump pardon, filed a motion for acquittal, and pushed for a plea deal to avoid retrial.
