林赛·克兰西杀害三名子女案的陪审团因无法达成一致判决而于9月4日宣布审判无效4。陪审团经过近40小时的审议,最终以11-1的投票倾向于判克兰西不承担刑事责任4。唯一坚持异议的陪审员迈克尔·P·德斯龙维尔已聘请律师,并首次对外发表声明为自己的立场辩护12。
德斯龙维尔坚称自己在评议期间"没有任何疑虑"3,并表示基于"所有物证、关键证人和控方提供的内容,我认为充分证明了她确切知道自己在做什么,并且是有预谋的"4。然而,其他陪审员声称这名异议陪审员未能提出任何证据来支持其投票立场23。克兰西被控三项一级谋杀罪,指控她绞死了五岁的科拉、三岁的道森和八个月大的卡兰4。辩护团主张克兰西患有产后精神病,而控方则主张该杀害行为是有预谋的4。下一次庭审定于9月29日在马萨诸塞州普利茅茨高等法院召开4。
A mistrial was declared in the Lindsay Clancy murder case on September 4 after jurors failed to reach a unanimous verdict following nearly 40 hours of deliberations.4 The jury voted 11-1 in favor of acquittal on charges that Clancy deliberately killed her three children—five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson, and eight-month-old Kalan.4 The single holdout juror, Michael P. Desronvil, has since hired an attorney and made public statements disputing claims from fellow jurors.12
Desronvil stated that he "didn't have any doubts" regarding the evidence presented at trial.3 He claimed that "based on all the physical evidence, key witnesses and what the prosecution presents," he believed there was sufficient proof that Clancy "knew exactly what she was doing and planned it."4 However, other jurors have challenged his position, asserting that Desronvil failed to present any evidence supporting his guilty vote during deliberations.23 The defense team argued that Clancy suffered from postpartum psychosis, while prosecutors maintained that the killings were premeditated.4 The case is scheduled to return to court on September 29 at Plymouth Superior Court in Massachusetts, where prosecutors will decide whether to seek a retrial.4
