Jury returns to tell judge for a third time it cannot reach a verdict in case of Massachusetts woman who killed her children

• Judge set to declare mistrial in Lindsay Clancy case after jury deadlocked third time

If a mistrial is declared, the prosecution could decide to pursue a retrial and try again with a new jury, or they could offer a plea deal to Lindsay Clancy’s attorney. They could also decide to drop the case.

When asked on Wednesday about the prospect of a retrial, Clancy’s lawyer Kevin Reddington had said he was prepared to “try the case next week”.
