The jury in the Lindsay Clancy trial returned deadlocked for the third time on Friday in Plymouth, Massachusetts , and a mistrial verdict seems increasingly likely now.
Reddington has filed an emergency stay at the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, CNN confirmed citing records from the clerk’s office. But experts believe that a mistrial is much more likely at this stage. It does not mean Clancy was convicted or acquitted. It means the trial was unable to reach a clear resolution.
Clancy’s attorney Kevin Reddington has one hour to file an emergency stay- an appeal to the Supreme Judicial Court to intervene – barring which Judge William Sullivan said that he intends to declare a mistrial. Earlier reporting noted: “It is with a heavy heart that we report we are unable to come to a unanimous decision and will not be able to,” the jury’s note, read out by Judge Sullivan, stated.
Earlier reporting noted: The defense sought to stop the mistrial and allow the jury to continue deliberating, but Judge Sulliavian made it clear that he intends to declare a mistrial in the next one hour.

Given that the trial looks set to end without a resolution, a key question is what happens to Lindsay Clancy after the mistrial verdict? A mistrial ruling for Lindsay Clancy does not mean she has been acquitted of the charges. Additionally, Lindsay Clancy’s current custody status will stay as it is.
In this article, we will look at how the 36-year-old suspect will have to live after a mistrial, having neither a conviction nor an acquittal. The three murder charges against the 36-year-old – for killing her three children – will remain alive. This means that the 36-year-old will remain at the Tewksbury Hospital in Massachusetts, where she has been staying under a court order since 2023.
