Lindsay Clancy was back in Plymouth Superior Court in Massachusetts on Monday after a September mistrial in the 2023 deaths of her three children in Duxbury^2,8.

Cox Media Group stations said Judge William Sullivan did not rule on a defense motion to dismiss the charges and said he would take it under advisement and decide as soon as possible². WTNH said her lawyers want the case dropped and the holdout juror investigated, and that prosecutors have indicated they want a retrial⁸.

Cox reporting said Clancy has said she had postpartum psychosis and was overmedicated; prosecutors, citing Boston 25, asked the judge to block the defense effort to prevent another trial, arguing they are seeking justice in the deaths of Cora, Dawson and Callan². CBS News said lawyers described her condition after the mistrial¹.

Cox stations, citing earlier reporting, said 11 jurors were prepared to find she lacked criminal responsibility and one juror favored guilt, and that prosecutors said the mistrial was proper after jurors reported they were deadlocked twice².

Cox said Clancy has been held at Tewksbury Hospital and is partly paralyzed after a suicide attempt². If convicted at a later trial she could face life in prison; if found not criminally responsible she could be committed to a psychiatric hospital². Whether prosecutors will retry, and on what charges, remains unsettled^2,8.
