唐纳德·特朗普总统表示，在周五宣布审判无效后，林赛·克兰西仍需为她三名年幼子女的死亡付出“代价”——这三名子女分别是5岁的科拉、3岁的道森和8个月大的卡兰。
在椭圆形办公室的记者随行采访中，一名记者询问特朗普是否一直在关注克兰西的谋杀案审判。这位马萨诸塞州母亲的辩护方并未否认她在2023年1月用健身带勒死了自己的孩子，而是辩称她因精神失常而无罪。她的律师称，她患有产后精神病——一种严重但罕见的精神疾病，患者会与现实脱节。
“这是一场可怕的悲剧，”特朗普对记者说道。“这是一场可怕的悲剧。我了解了发生的一切，看起来陪审团陷入了僵局。”

特朗普就林赛·克兰西审判无效一事发表看法：“这是一场可怕的悲剧”
“我认为会进行另一场审判。这是一个糟糕的局面。听着，她做了一件极其、极其可怕的事情。不能更糟了。但你们会知道需要付出什么代价。总会有代价的。要么进精神病院，要么坐牢，或者其他什么，”特朗普继续说道。

林赛·克兰西三子女被杀案陪审团陷入僵局，审判宣布无效
这场原定于确定克兰西是否应承担刑事责任的六周审判，迅速演变成一场关于女性产后心理健康的互联网文化战争的导火索，并催生了虚假信息和阴谋论，包括虚假宣称她的前夫帕特里克·克兰西应对孩子们的死亡负责。
经过近一周的评议，威廉·沙利文法官宣布审判无效，原因是陪审团以11比1的投票结果陷入僵局：11名陪审员投票宣告克兰西无罪，而一名固执的陪审员拒绝加入他们的行列。陪审团由9名女性和3名男性组成。
这位臭名昭著的杀童母亲案件的检察官称，林赛·克兰西陪审团中的女性可能会给判决带来“奇怪的转折”
据《人物》杂志报道，克兰西的辩护律师要求将这名唯一持不同意见的陪审员罢免，因为陪审员交给法官的一张便条显示，这名固执的陪审员心存疑虑但拒绝表态。
审判无效引发了共和党议员的强烈反应，而民主党议员及包括克兰西所在州的领导人在内的民主党人士则对这起备受关注的案件保持沉默。
“12个人里，只有1人有勇气让一名连环杀手为自己的行为负责，”俄亥俄州共和党众议员迈克尔·鲁利在X平台上发帖称。“这不仅仅是勇敢。这是英雄行为。”

“持不同意见的陪审员需要安保措施，”俄亥俄州共和党参议员迈克·李在X平台上发帖称。“令人难过。”
佛罗里达州共和党州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯称此次审判无效是“司法不公”。
“受害者理应得到远不止一个私刑法庭的对待，”德桑蒂斯写道。
南卡罗来纳州共和党众议员南希·梅斯一直直言不讳地批评克兰西的支持者——这些人聚集在法院外并在网上发布支持视频——她暗示如果克兰西是黑人，就不会得到这样的支持。
“这个案件不是为她的谋杀行为找借口，”梅斯在X平台上发帖称。“这是为了给三个美丽的灵魂伸张正义，他们在被母亲用空手和健身带勒死之后，生命被夺走了。”

帕特里克·克兰西在林赛·克兰西案件陪审团僵局后发声，谈及再次审判的可能性
“12名陪审员审视了这个情况，”梅斯继续说道。“只有一人挺身而出为孩子们辩护。”
但克兰西的辩护方辩称，她是一位忠诚且充满爱心的母亲，当时正拼命寻求帮助，并声称她服用的多种药物加剧了她的精神状态。在谋杀发生前的四个月里，克兰西被开具了13种精神类药物——超过30张处方。
帕特里克·克兰西正在起诉克兰西的医疗服务提供者詹妮弗·塔夫茨医生、丽贝卡·约洛塔、阿斯特心理健康中心和南海岸医疗系统，指控他们过失致人死亡和医疗事故。克兰西本人也提起了单独的诉讼，指控过失、医疗事故和人身伤害。
“林赛当时很挣扎。我们都非常担心，”克兰西的婆婆苏珊·克兰西对陪审员们说。“她非常有爱心，非常温柔。她是一位很棒的母亲。非常棒。”

Trump weighs in on Lindsay Clancy murder trial dubbed ‘kangaroo court’ by GOP leaders

The jury deadlocked 11-1 in favor of acquittal after a 6-week trial over the Massachusetts mother’s insanity defense

President Donald Trump said Lindsay Clancy will still have to pay “the price” for the deaths of her three small children — Cora 5, Dawson 3, and Callan, 8 months — after a mistrial was ruled on Friday.
During a press gaggle in the Oval Office, a reporter asked Trump if he’d been following the murder trial of Clancy, a Massachusetts mom whose defense did not deny that she strangled her children with exercise bands in January 2023, but argued that she was not guilty by reason of insanity. Her attorneys claimed that she suffered from postpartum psychosis, a severe but rare psychiatric condition in which a person is disconnected from reality.
“It’s a horrible tragedy,” Trump shared with reporters. “It’s a horrible tragedy. I see what’s happened, and it looks like it’s a hung jury.”

Trump weighs in on Lindsay Clancy mistrial: ‘It’s a horrible tragedy’
“I assume there’s going to be another trial. It’s a terrible situation. Look, she did a horrible, horrible thing. Can’t be worse. But you’ll find out what the price to pay is. There’ll be a price. It’s going to be [a] mental institution or jail or something,” Trump continued.

LINDSAY CLANCY MISTRIAL DECLARED AFTER JURY DEADLOCKS IN KILLINGS OF HER THREE CHILDREN
The six-week trial, which was supposed to determine whether Clancy was to be held criminally responsible, quickly evolved into a flashpoint in the internet culture war over women’s postpartum mental health and spurred misinformation and conspiracy theories, including false claims accusing her ex-husband, Patrick Clancy, of being responsible for the children’s deaths.
After nearly a week of deliberations, Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial when the jury deadlocked 11 to 1: 11 jurors voted to acquit Clancy, while one holdout refused to join them. The jury consisted of 9 women and 3 men.

Clancy’s defense attorney requested that the lone juror be removed because a note given to the judge by the jurors said the holdout had doubt but refused to apply it, according to People.
The mistrial invoked a strong reaction from Republican lawmakers, while Democratic lawmakers and leaders — including those from Clancy’s state — have remained mum on the high-profile case.
“Out of 12 people, only ONE had the courage to hold a serial killer accountable for her actions,” Rep. Michael Rulli, R-Ohio, posted on X. “That’s not just bravery. That’s a hero.”

“Holdout juror’s going to need security,” Sen. Mike Lee, R-Ohio, posted on X. “Sad.”
Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis called the mistrial a “miscarriage of justice.”
“The victims deserved far, far better than a kangaroo court,” DeSantis wrote.
Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., who has been incredibly vocal against Clancy’s supporters — who have been gathered outside the courthouse and posted videos showing support online — suggesting Clancy would not have this support if she were Black.
“This case is not about the excuses for why she committed murder,” Mace posted on X. “This is about justice for the three beautiful souls whose lives were taken after their mother strangled them with her bare hands and workout bands.”

“12 jurors looked at this onesie,” Mace continued. “Only ONE stood his ground to defend the children.”
But Clancy’s defense argued that she was a devoted and loving mother who was desperately seeking to get help, alleging that the cocktail of medications she was on worsened her mental state. Clancy had been prescribed 13 psychiatric medications — more than 30 prescriptions — in the four months leading up to the murders.
Patrick Clancy is suing for wrongful death and medical malpractice against Clancy’s providers, Dr. Jennifer Tufts, Rebecca Jollotta, Aster Mental Health and South Shore Health System. Clancy also filed a separate lawsuit alleging negligence, medical malpractice and personal injury.
“Lindsay was struggling. We were all very concerned,” Susan Clancy, Clancy’s mother-in-law, told jurors. “She was very nurturing, very loving. She was a wonderful mother. Wonderful.”
