Key Facts

• Clancy’s first trial ended in September with jurors split 11-1 in favor of finding her not criminally responsible, leaving them unable to reach a unanimous verdict.
• Clancy’s defense argued that postpartum psychosis left her not criminally responsible for the 2023 deaths of her three children; prosecutors argued she understood her actions and acted deliberately.
• Defense attorney Kevin Reddington said another juror reported seeing the holdout juror use a cellphone and research terms related to the evidence.
• The holdout juror’s attorney disputed that account, saying it did not prove he researched the case or contacted anyone about it; she said jurors had been allowed to keep their phones.
• The judge did not establish that the cellphone allegations were true, and the court sealed some material related to the dispute over the juror’s background.
• The juror’s attorney said he disclosed a prior arrest on his jury questionnaire and that the defense had reviewed the questionnaire and accepted him onto the panel.
• Prosecutors said they expect another trial, but the charges and timing remain unresolved; the court is scheduled to reconvene November 16, with a possible retrial in March.
