林赛·克兰西是一名36岁的前劳动和分娩护士，现因2023年在马萨诸塞州家中用运动带勒死三个孩子而受审1。遇难的孩子分别为5岁的科拉、3岁的道森和8个月大的卡兰1。案件发生后，克兰西从二楼窗户跳下，现已腰部以下瘫痪1。
陪审团目前继续审议此案，但流审风险不断上升1。陪审团已两次向法官表示无法就克兰西是否应承担刑事责任达成一致1。若陪审团最终无法达成共识，法院可能宣布流审，随后检控方可决定是否重新起诉1。
辩方主张克兰西患有产后精神病，她曾声称听到声音指示她杀死孩子以结束自己的生命1。而控方则认为她明确了解自己行为的性质1。医学专家在克兰西的精神状态问题上意见不一1。克兰西的前夫帕特里克·克兰西在采访中表示原谅她，并认为她是病人而非恶人1。
A Massachusetts jury is preparing to resume deliberations in the case of Lindsay Clancy, a 36-year-old former labor and delivery nurse accused of killing her three young children in 2023.1 The jury has twice informed the judge that it cannot reach a unanimous verdict on whether Clancy should be held criminally responsible.1
The charges stem from an incident in which Clancy allegedly used a sports strap to strangle her three children—Cora, 5; Dawson, 3; and Callan, 8 months old—in the basement of her home.1 After the incident, she jumped from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down.1 The defense has argued that postpartum psychosis, including auditory hallucinations telling her to kill the children to end her own life, drove her actions.1 Prosecutors maintain that Clancy acted with knowledge of what she was doing.1
Medical experts have offered conflicting opinions on Clancy's mental state.1 If the jury remains unable to reach a consensus, the court may declare a mistrial, after which prosecutors would have the discretion to decide whether to retry the case.1 In a recent interview, Clancy's ex-husband, Patrick Clancy, stated that he has forgiven her, characterizing her as a sick person rather than a wicked one.1
