Lindsay Clancy's Trial Nearly Ended Over WHAT?

A jury that's already split on whether a mother is criminally responsible for killing her three children just found out someone was filming them on their way out of the courthouse. That's where the Lindsay Clancy trial stands right now.
The panel spent five weeks hearing eighty witnesses and reviewing more than three hundred exhibits, all circling one unresolved question — was Lindsay Clancy psychotic on January 24, 2023, or wasn't she. The defense doesn't dispute what happened; Kevin Reddington has already told the court his client killed her kids with the exercise bands, and the DNA backs that up. The entire case now rests on criminal responsibility, and Massachusetts puts the burden of proving sanity on the prosecution once the defense raises it.
When the jury told Judge Sullivan they couldn't reach a verdict, he read them the Tuey-Rodriguez charge — essentially telling them no future jury will have better evidence, so go back and keep trying. They did. They're still stuck. And somewhere in the middle of that impasse, a woman was arrested outside the courthouse accused of secretly filming jurors, with deleted footage of the panel recovered from her phone. Sullivan had to individually question every juror before letting deliberations continue.
If this jury ultimately hangs, nothing about Lindsay Clancy's status changes. No acquittal, no conviction. She stays charged with three counts of murder, held at Tewksbury State Hospital, paralyzed from the waist down, while Plymouth County DA Timothy Cruz weighs what comes next.
Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down how close this case is to a mistrial, what the secret filming does to either side's appeal options, and why a jury this deadlocked was always going to be a coin flip.
