Has anyone been watching the Lindsay Clancy trial? I have been watching bits of it.
For those that don't know she murdered her 3 young kids :( she is claiming she was in Psychosis Jury is out atm, think they will return the verdict either tomorrow or Tuesday.

Do you think Guilty or not guilty?

I think she's 100% guilty, and I think is sad that there are people trying to defend her actions. RIP to those poor souls. :(

I couldn't agree more. If it was a man who had killed his kids then people would be angry.
 
The jury are still deliberating. 21 hours so far.
 
Can't believe the amount of people who think she's innocent.
 

What Happens Next After the Lindsay Clancy Mistrial?​


The Lindsay Clancy case is not over following the mistrial declared on 4 September 2026. The jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict after seven days of deliberations, meaning no verdict of guilty or not guilty was returned.
Prosecutors must now decide whether Lindsay Clancy will face a second trial. The Plymouth County District Attorney's Office has not yet announced whether it intends to retry the case. Clancy remains charged, and the mistrial does not amount to an acquittal.
A significant date to watch is 29 September 2026, when the case is due back in court. That hearing could provide the first clear indication of what happens next. Possible outcomes include prosecutors pursuing another trial, the two sides reaching some form of agreement, or further legal arguments from the defence.

Clancy's defence attorney, Kevin Reddington, is also expected to ask the judge to find her not guilty, although reports describe such an attempt as unlikely to succeed.
The central issue during the trial was not whether Clancy caused the deaths of her three children, but whether she was criminally responsible for her actions. Her defence argued that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis, while prosecutors argued that her actions were deliberate and that she understood what she was doing.
With the first trial ending without a verdict, the question now is whether putting Lindsay Clancy through a second trial would produce a different result.
Do you think prosecutors should pursue a retrial, or do you think another jury is likely to face the same difficulty reaching a unanimous decision?
 
Patrick Clancy’s attorneys released a statement Tuesday addressing the online claims and accusations he has been facing since his ex-wife, Lindsay Clancy, went on trial for killing their three children in January 2023. A mistrial was declared in Lindsay’s case on Friday. In a statement, Patrick’s lawyers said, “Over the past months, Patrick Clancy and his family have been subjected to a relentless, escalating, and destructive defamation campaign.” The statement goes on to say that a campaign of misinformation and accusations has been launched, threatening Patrick Clancy’s “reputation, livelihood, and life.”
 
Three jurors have spoken publicly and said the jury was 11–1 in favour of finding Clancy not criminally responsible, with one juror refusing to join them. They said the holdout acknowledged having reasonable doubt but still would not vote for acquittal.
Clancy’s lawyer, Kevin Reddington, has filed a motion asking the judge to prevent another trial and is arguing that a retrial would violate double-jeopardy protections. He has also asked the court to acquit her rather than put her through a second trial.
Prosecutors have not yet announced whether they will retry her. A court hearing is scheduled for 29 September 2026, when these issues are expected to be argued.
There has also been controversy around the lone holdout juror, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has publicly defended him after media attention focused on his background.

Update: Lindsay Clancy’s Lawyer Moves to Block Retrial​

There has been a significant development following the mistrial in the Lindsay Clancy case.
Three jurors have now spoken publicly and said that the jury was split 11–1 in favour of finding Clancy not criminally responsible for the deaths of her three children. According to the jurors, the lone holdout acknowledged having reasonable doubt but still refused to vote for acquittal.
Clancy’s defence attorney, Kevin Reddington, has now filed a motion asking the court to prevent prosecutors from retrying her. He is arguing that another trial could amount to double jeopardy and that the mistrial should not have been declared in the circumstances.
The prosecution has not yet confirmed whether it intends to pursue a second trial.
Clancy is due back in court on 29 September 2026, when the judge is expected to consider the defence arguments and the next steps in the case.
The mistrial has also sparked controversy around the lone holdout juror, with questions being raised about how the deliberations unfolded and whether the case should ever go before another jury.
 
The biggest update is that Judge William Sullivan has now ordered the names of the Lindsay Clancy jurors to remain sealed indefinitely, citing safety concerns, threats and the intense public attention around the case. That means the lone holdout juror is still officially unnamed.
There is also new reporting about the holdout. CBS obtained police and court records showing that he was charged with domestic violence assault and battery in 2021 after an allegation involving his wife. He pleaded not guilty, and the charge was later dismissed. An arrest or dismissed charge would not automatically have prevented him from serving on the jury; the legal question would be whether he answered the jury-selection questionnaire truthfully, and those questionnaires are currently sealed.
Other jurors have said the final split was 11–1 in favour of finding Clancy not criminally responsible, with the lone holdout preventing a unanimous verdict.
Clancy’s lawyer, Kevin Reddington, says he intends to ask for the case to be dismissed on double-jeopardy grounds at the next hearing on 29 September. Prosecutors have still not publicly announced whether they will retry her.
 
IF she is guilty of murder…. cold blooded murder….what possible motive could she have? her own children?
