A Massachusetts judge ruled a mistrial in the prosecution of Lindsay Clancy on murder charges after the jury deadlocked after seven days of deliberations, sending the case into a crossroads over how prosecutors will move forward.

Judge William Sullivan of the Plymouth Superior Court declared a mistrial after the jury could not come to a consensus over whether Clancy was in her right mind or experiencing psychosis when she killed her three children. The jury had been deadlocked 11-1, with defense attorney Kevin Reddington pleading with Sullivan, to no avail, to dismiss the lone holdout juror whom he believed was siding with the prosecution.
