In Plymouth, Massachusetts, Lindsay Clancy's defense team and prosecutors agreed to delay the investigation of the lone holdout juror who opposed an acquittal in her mistrial. The case involves Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse accused of killing her three children in January 2023, claiming she was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time. On September 4, after a five-week trial, a 12-member jury split 11 to 1, favoring acquittal due to mental illness or defect, but resulting in a mistrial. Clancy is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday for a hearing that could determine if she faces retrial or has her case dismissed entirely. The defense argues the holdout juror's questionnaire responses and conduct during deliberations were questionable and should be investigated further, while prosecutors have not disclosed their next steps publicly yet.
