## Key points

- Prosecutors have yet to say whether Clancy will face a retrial or reduced charges.
- Experts say a related case may influence the decision.
- A judge hopes a retrial can begin in March.

## Summary

Prosecutors have not said whether they will retry Lindsay Clancy on first-degree murder charges or seek lesser charges, after her first trial ended in a deadlocked jury and a mistrial. Legal experts suggest the delay may reflect the possible effect on a related case, as well as the need to prepare for a new trial.

Clancy’s defence argued she was not guilty by reason of insanity because of severe postpartum psychosis; after the trial, several jurors said 11 of the 12 supported that argument. Prosecutors are awaiting rulings on motions, including a bid to dismiss the case over a holdout juror, while the judge has said he hopes for a retrial in March. Experts also cited preparation, consultation with the children’s father, and the prosecutor’s election as possible factors; the same prosecutor’s office handled Latarsha Sanders’ case, whose conviction was overturned after mental health evidence was excluded.
