Clancy was on trial for the murders of her three children, ages 5, 3, and 8 months. The defense argued that Clancy was in a state of postpartum psychosis when committing the acts. The prosecution argued that she wasn’t experiencing psychosis and had planned the killings in advance.

The judge declared a mistrial on Friday, September 4 after the jury was deadlocked three times. The possible verdicts were not guilty, not guilty by reason of insanity, first-degree murder, second-degree murder, and manslaughter. Clancy could face another trial.

“The Lindsay Clancy case has captured the nation’s attention, causing heated debate in the national conversation,” her caption says. “On January 24, 2023, Lindsay Clancy strangled her three children in her basement and then attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window in her house. The resulting injuries left her paralyzed from the waist down. After 21 days of testimony from more than 80 witnesses, the jury was not able to reach a unanimous decision. Lindsay Clancy’s defense team has argued that she is not guilty by reason of insanity as she was experiencing postpartum psychosis, while the prosecution argued she committed premeditated first-degree murder.”

The caption continues: “On this week’s episode, @oprah is in Massachusetts for a wide-ranging conversation about the case with an audience including an exclusive interview with Meg Hamp, a nurse who worked alongside Lindsay for seven years and testified at her trial, plus medical experts, legal scholars and women who have personally experienced postpartum psychosis.”
