A Massachusetts judge has declared a mistrial in the case of Lindsay Clancy after jurors deadlocked and were unable to reach a verdict for the fourth consecutive day.
Clancy, 36, was charged with three counts of first-degree murder for the killings of her children – Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and 8-month-old Callan.

The former nurse admitted to killing her three young children, but denies murder.
Jurors this afternoon were also able to consider lesser charges of second-degree murder and manslaughter.
Her lawyer, Kevin Reddington, argued she should not be held criminally responsible, as she was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time of the killings and her suicide attempt.
Four consecutive days saw the nine women and five men of the jury unable to reach a unanimous decision, with yesterday’s hearing plunging into chaos as defense attorneys sought the removal of a juror.
