Why Tim Cruz Hasn't Dropped the Lindsay Clancy Case Yet

A jury could not convict Lindsay Clancy, and District Attorney Tim Cruz has not dropped the case, has not announced a retrial, and has not offered a plea in public. Eric Faddis, defense attorney and former prosecutor, joins Hidden Killers Live to explain what is happening inside that office.

The mistrial came September 4, 2026, after 38 hours of deliberation over seven days. Kevin Reddington says the jury split 11-1 for not guilty. Cruz's response was that the facts are Lindsay Clancy killed her three children, the evidence suggested she was in control of her actions, and the case is the cruel and calculated killing of three innocents. He said he has not decided on a second trial. The next hearing is September 29.

The state's evidence of planning was a timeline. A 4:13 p.m. Apple Maps search for a Plymouth restaurant on January 24, 2023. A takeout order Lindsay placed at 5:10 p.m. Patrick Clancy leaving to pick it up at 5:54 p.m. Prosecutors said she was clearing the house. The defense said postpartum psychosis and conceded she caused the deaths. The jury could not agree on criminal responsibility.

Tony asks Eric the questions the chat is already fighting over. What went wrong for the state? Did first-degree murder ask too much of a jury looking at a mother in psychiatric crisis? Can the expert testimony be fixed? At what point does an elected DA say the county cannot do this again? And does Patrick Clancy, whose attorney says another trial would be extraordinarily painful for him, get a vote?

Lindsay Clancy is charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, Dawson, and Callan. She remains at Tewksbury Hospital.
