The trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother accused of murdering her three young children, has ended without a verdict after the jury failed to unanimously agree on her guilt.

Judge William Sullivan declared the trial a mistrial on Friday after the jury informed him for the third time that it had been deadlocked, NBC News reports.

The decision came after a trial that lasted nearly six weeks and seven days of jury deliberations.

Clancy had pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in connection with the deaths of her children, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, just 8 months old.

At the center of the trial was the question of whether she was criminally responsible for the murders or whether she should be found not guilty due to lack of criminal responsibility as a result of a mental disorder.

The defense argued that Clancy was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time she killed the children, on January 24, 2023, and was therefore not criminally responsible.

Lawyers claimed that her mental state had deteriorated in the months leading up to the incident and that, despite attempts to seek psychiatric help, she had not been properly diagnosed.

"This young woman is not guilty of killing her children because she suffered from an illness and disorder," her lawyer, Kevin Reddington, said.

The defense also referred to the testimony of forensic psychiatrist Phillip Resnick, who concluded that Clancy was in a psychotic state at the time of the murders.

Prosecutors presented a completely opposite version. They argued that Clancy was aware of her actions and had planned the murders.

According to the indictment, she intentionally sent her then-husband, Patrick Clancy, out of the house to get food and go to the pharmacy, giving herself time to act.

After three announcements that it could not reach a unanimous verdict, the jury could no longer continue its deliberations and the judge declared the trial null and void.
