Here's the latest
• JUST IN: The judge in Lindsay Clancy’s trial has given the defense one hour to make an emergency appeal before declaring a mistrial. The dramatic whipsaw came after a deadlocked jury had again said it couldn’t reach a unanimous verdict after deliberating for seven days.
• Drama over holdout juror: The judge said earlier that he wouldn’t question a juror who the defense said was a lone holdout, according to notes from the jury. Clancy’s attorney Kevin Reddington said the juror refuses to apply the law and had asked the judge to remove the member.
• About the case: Clancy is accused of murder after strangling her three young children in 2023. Prosecutors have argued she acted “intentionally, rationally, and swiftly” to kill her children, while the defense said she should not be held criminally responsible because she was suffering from postpartum psychosis.
