Paula Devlin said the Lindsay Clancy jury deadlocked 11-1 after about 40 hours of deliberations, ending the Massachusetts murder trial in a mistrial on Sept. 4.
Devlin said jurors found enough doubt in the prosecution's case that some concluded Clancy was in postpartum psychosis and should be found not criminally responsible rather than jailed.
Graphic testimony and photos of Cora, Dawson and Callan made deliberations “agonizing,” Devlin said, adding the evidence and Patrick Clancy’s 911 call still haunt her after the trial.
Devlin said one juror and relatives faced threats as public attention intensified, and she doubts a new panel could be unbiased if prosecutors seek to retry the 2023 case.
