Jurors describe heartbreak and doubt behind Lindsay Clancy mistrial

Jurors say they were close to a verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity in the Lindsay Clancy case, but a holdout male juror refused to budge, resulting in a mistrial after about 40 hours of deliberations marked by crying and tension. Massachusetts law placed the burden on prosecutors to prove criminal responsibility, while the defense argued postpartum psychosis. Prosecutors will decide whether to retry the case, and Clancy’s attorney has hinted at seeking a deal; the jurors said they plan to attend any second trial in support of Clancy.
