About this episode
The Lindsay Clancy case ended in a mistrial last week.
Clancy was on trial for killing her three children in 2023.
Neither Clancy nor her attorneys deny that she killed her children – but they argued she was experiencing postpartum psychosis.
And while the jury couldn't reach a unanimous decision on a charge, the jurors now have to live with the facts of the case and the graphic evidence they witnessed.
What kind of support exists for jurors after experiencing a difficult trial?
This episode was produced by Michelle Aslam and Mia Venkat.
With additional reporting in from Deborah Becker.
It was edited by Matt Ozug and Tinbete Ermyas.
Our interim executive producer is Courtney Dorning.
