Clancy trial observers react to mistrial declaration

Tense exchange between judge and Lindsay Clancy's attorney in court

A Massachusetts judge said he would declare a mistrial Friday after the jury weighing the fate of Lindsay Clancy failed for the third time to reach a verdict in the case of the mother accused of the strangling deaths of her three young children in 2023. But in a dramatic courtroom moment, Clancy’s lawyer said he wanted to appeal to a higher court. The judge granted him one hour to do so.
