Defense seeks insanity verdict after Clancy trial ends in hung jury

Lindsay Clancy’s defense asked a Massachusetts judge to declare her not guilty by reason of insanity after the murder trial ended in a mistrial when one juror prevented a unanimous verdict. The defense argued prosecutors failed to prove she lacked mental illness and pointed to postpartum psychosis, noting 11 of 12 jurors were prepared to find NGRI before a lone holdout blocked a verdict. A hearing is set for September 29 as prosecutors decide whether to retry the case.
