A mistrial was declared on September 4, 2026, according to PBS NewsHour and BBC US & Canada, after the jury failed to come to a unanimous decision following seven days of deliberation. The judge declared a mistrial in Lindsay Clancy's murder case after the jury failed to come to a unanimous decision. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington requested time to seek an emergency appeal with the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, which may consider a stay request. Plymouth District Attorney Timothy Cruz stated that the case is not about the healthcare system or women’s treatment.
