As the jury failed to reach a verdict in a case that had deeply divided the nation over whether a Massachusetts woman should be held criminally responsible for the deaths of her three young children, the judge declared a mistrial on Friday.

陪審員たちが評決に至ることができずマサチューセッツ州の女性が3人の幼い子供を殺害した件で刑事責任を問うべきか否かをめぐり、全国が深く分裂したこの事件において金曜日に裁判官は審理無効を宣告した

The trial captivated public attention for weeks, sparking unprecedented interest in the mental health issues faced by postpartum mothers.

この裁判は数週間にわたって世間の耳目を集め産後の母親が直面する精神的健康問題への関心がかつてないほど高まった

The defendant, Clancy, aged 36, was a former obstetric and delivery nurse who never once contested the fact that she had killed her children.

クランシー被告(36歳)元産科・分娩看護師であり子供たちを殺害した事実を一度も争うことはなかった

However, her lawyer stated that when she strangled her children in 2023the youngest being just eight months oldand then attempted suicide, she was suffering from a rare condition known as postpartum psychosis.

しかし彼女の弁護士は2023年に子供たち(末っ子は生後8か月)絞殺し自殺を図った際彼女は産後精神病として知られる稀な病状にあったと述べた

The prosecution, for its part, contended that Clancy had been fully aware of her actions.

一方検察はクランシー被告が自身の行動を認識していたと主張した

The declaration of a mistrial on Friday, on the seventh day of deliberations, left the case unresolved.

金曜日の審理無効宣告は評議開始から7日目にしてこの事件を未解決のまま残す結果となった

Ultimately, the decision seemed to leave no one in the courtroom unmoved.

結局のところこの決定は法廷にいる誰の心も動かさなかったようだ

When the judge announced that the trial would conclude without a verdict, neither Clancy nor her family displayed any visible emotion.

裁判官が評決を下すことなく裁判が終了すると発表した際クランシー被告もその家族もいかなる感情の動きも見せなかった

The defendant, Clancy, remains charged with murder and is expected to stay in a psychiatric hospital until the case is resolved.

クランシー被告は依然として殺人罪で起訴されており本事件の決着がつくまで精神病院に留まる見通しである。

Her attorney, Kevin Reddington, stated that she would have been acquitted had it not been for a juror who contested whether the judge's instructions were being followed.

彼女の弁護士であるケビン・レディントン氏は、裁判官の指示が守られているかどうかをめぐって争われた陪審員がいなければ彼女は無罪になっていただろう述べた

When asked by reporters about Ms. Clancy's condition following the mistrial, Mr. Reddington replied, "Not good."

レディントン氏は、審理無効後クランシー被告の様子記者に尋ねられた際「良くない」と答えた

Her parents and younger sister left the courthouse under state police escort, maintaining complete silence toward the press throughout.

彼女の両親と妹州警察の随行の下裁判所を後にしたが、報道陣に対して終始無言を貫いた

Patrick Clancy, her former husband who testified at the outset of the trial, has stated in past interviews that he forgives her and firmly believes her actions stemmed from mental illness.

元夫であるパトリック・クランシー氏は、裁判の冒頭で証言台に立った人物だが、過去のインタビューにおいて彼女を許す旨を表明しておりその行動は精神疾患に起因するものだと確信している述べている

A statement released by his attorney on Friday read: "The prospect of having to relive this tragedy in another courtroom is unbearably painful."

金曜日に彼の弁護士が公表した声明には、「別の法廷でこの悲劇を追体験せざるを得ない見通しは、耐え難いほどの苦痛をもたらす」と記されていた。

The prosecutor decided to indict the defendant Clancy, but made it clear that he had no intention of making an immediate decision regarding a retrial.

検察官はクランシー被告の起訴を決定したが再審に関しては即座の判断を下すつもりはないと明言した

Furthermore, he expressed his stance that he would not be swayed by the tide of public opinion.

また世論の動向には左右されないとの立場を示した

"This has been, and always will be, about seeking justice for these three young infants," stated Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz.

これはこれまでもそして常にこれら3人の幼い赤ちゃんへの正義を求めることであった」とプリマス郡地方検事ティモシー・クルーズ氏は述べた

"This case is not about the healthcare system, how women are treated within it, or what diagnoses may exist."

この事件は医療制度そこで女性がどのように扱われるか、またはどのような診断があるかについてではありません。」

He pointed out that the two prosecutors handling the case are both mothers.

彼は担当する二人の検察官が「いずれも母親である」と指摘した

On Friday, the deliberations took a dramatic turn.

金曜日評議は劇的な展開を見せた

After declaring that he would declare a mistrial, the judge abruptly reversed course and permitted the defense attorney for the defendant Clancy to appeal that decision to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.

裁判官が審理無効を宣告すると言明した後突如として方針を転換しクランシー被告の弁護士がその決定をマサチューセッツ州最高裁判所に上訴することを許可した

However, the court did not prevent the judge from declaring a mistrial.

だが裁判所は裁判官による審理無効の宣告を阻止することはなかった

Clancy's defense team contended that one of the jurors had hinted at harboring potential prejudice against individuals with mental illness, yet they refrained from disclosing the specifics.

クランシー被告の弁護団は陪審員の一人が精神疾患を持つ人々に対して偏見を抱いている可能性を示唆したと主張したがその詳細は明らかにしなかった

They insisted that the juror in question should at the very least undergo a more exhaustive interrogation by the judge, or alternatively be entirely dismissed before a mistrial could be declared.

彼らはその陪審員が少なくとも裁判官によるより徹底的な尋問を受けるべきであり、あるいは審理無効が宣告される前に完全に排除されるべきだと強く求めた

The prosecution argued that Clancy acted deliberately when she used exercise bands to strangle five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson, and eight-month-old Callan Clancy.

検察はクランシー被告が運動用バンドを用いて5歳のコーラ3歳のドーソン、そして生後8か月のカラン・クランシー絞殺した際意図的に行動したと主張した

Furthermore, they stated that on January 24, 2023, she sent her husband out to fetch medication for one of the children and the family's dinner, thereby forcing him to leave the house.

また彼女は2023年1月24日夫を家から追い出すために子供の一人の薬家族の夕食を取りに行かせたと述べた

The defense for the defendant Clancy argued that postpartum psychosis, a rare mental disorder, stems from stress, sleep deprivation, and hormonal changes following childbirth, and that consequently she could not be held criminally responsible.

クランシー被告弁護側は、産後精神病いう稀な精神疾患が、出産後ストレス睡眠不足ホルモンの変化起因するものであり、そのため彼女には刑事責任問うことはできない主張した

The jury declared on three separate occasions that it was unable to reach a unanimous verdict.

陪審団は3度にわたり全会一致の評決に到達できないと表明した

On Thursday, the foreperson informed the judge that one of the jurors was refusing to comply with the court's instructions concerning reasonable doubt.

陪審長は木曜日裁判官に対し陪審員の一人が合理的疑いに関する法廷の指示に従うことを拒否していると伝えた。

On Friday, outside the courthouse, Mr. Reddington launched a scathing attack on the jurors he believed had obstructed the verdict.

金曜日裁判所の外でレディントン氏は評決を妨害したと確信している陪審員たちを痛烈に非難した

They are aware that their time was taken from them by a single man with an agenda.

彼ら(陪審員)は何らかの議題を抱えた一人の男によってその時間を奪われたことを認識している

"That man, with meticulous precision and remarkable skill, deftly siphoned away seven weeks of the other jurors' lives," he stated.

その男は極めて周到にそして見事に他の陪審員たちの七週間という人生を巧妙に掠め取ったのだ」と彼は述べた

It was not disclosed how the jury's verdict was divided, that is, which jurors sided with the conviction or acquittal.

陪審の評決がどのように分かれたのかすなわち有罪か無罪かを支持する側にどの陪審員がいたのかは、明らかにされなかった

If the defendant Clancy were found guilty of murder, she could have been sentenced to life imprisonment.

クランシー被告は殺人罪で有罪と認定された場合終身刑を宣告される可能性があった

Conversely, in the event of an acquittal, the judge retained the discretion to order her confinement in a psychiatric facility.

一方無罪となれば裁判官は彼女を精神科施設への収容を命じる裁量権を有していた

The judge, taking into account the gravity of the case and the fact that it had captured public attention to the point of dividing society, ordered that the jurors' names remain undisclosed for at least fourteen days.

裁判官は本件が重大かつ社会を二分するような注目を集めたことを考慮し陪審員の氏名を少なくとも14日間にわたり公開しないよう命じた

Millions of people across the United States watched the trial, which was broadcast via live streaming.

全米の何百万人もの人々がライブストリーミングで中継された裁判を視聴した

Even President Donald Trump openly stated that he was closely following the coverage.

ドナルド・トランプ大統領でさえその報道を注視していると明言した

"This is a devastating situation. She has committed an inexcusable act," Trump said on Friday.

"This is a devastating situation. She has committed an inexcusable act," Trump said on Friday.

But we know what the price will be.

Nearly every day, women who supported the defendant Clancy appeared in court dressed in pink attire.

ほぼ毎日クランシー被告を支持する女性たちピンク色の衣装に身を包み法廷に姿を現した

Many of them referred to their own postpartum experiences and the shortcomings within the healthcare system.

多くは自らの産後体験医療制度における問題点について言及した

On Friday, one such woman, 55-year-old surgeon Marta Kihano, following the declaration of a mistrial, stated, "It is profoundly sad, for the family and for Lindsey."

金曜日そうした女性の一人である55歳の外科医マルタ・キハノ氏は、審理無効の裁定を受け「家族のため、そしてリンジーのために、非常に悲しい」と述べた

"I cannot bear the thought of her having to go through this again.

彼女がまたこれを経験しなければならないとは思いません

This should have been resolved long ago," Kihano remarked, her voice breaking into tears.

これは解決されるべきだったと思います」とキハノさんは泣き始めながら述べた

"It is profoundly unjust.

非常に不公平です

As women, we feel we are treated with a deep-seated unfairness.

女性として私たちは非常に不公平に扱われていると感じます

We are brushed aside, and our concerns are trivialized.

私たちは退けられ物事は軽視されます

Even what transpired todayI believe a single individual let her down."

今日起こったことさえ一人の人が彼女を失望させたと思います。」

At the outset of the deliberations, the judge acknowledged that the trial had been emotionally and physically draining for everyone involved.

裁判官は評議の初期にこの裁判が全員にとって感情的にも物理的にも疲弊するものであったと認めた

Much of the testimony, from the harrowing 911 call made by the father who discovered the children's bodies to the descriptions of how they died, was almost unbearable to listen to.

証言の多くは子供たちの遺体を発見した父親による悲痛な911通報から、その死に方の説明に至るまで聞くに堪えないものだった

The defendant, Clancy, was moved to tears on numerous occasions.

クランシー被告は幾度となく涙を浮かべた

At one point, while the autopsy photographs of the children were being presented, the defendant's violent sobs reverberated throughout the entire courtroom, compelling the judge to order a brief recess.

ある瞬間子供たちの剖検写真が提示されている最中、被告の激しい嗚咽が法廷全体に響き渡り裁判官は短い休廷を命じざるを得なかった。

Over the course of twenty-one days of testimony, the jurors were given a detailed account of how the defendant Clancy's mental equilibrium had progressively deteriorated, beginning with the birth of Callan.

陪審員らは21日間に及ぶ証言を通じてクランシー被告の精神的均衡がカランの出産を境にいかにして崩壊の一途を辿ったか詳らかに聞かされた

The defendant, Clancy, plagued by profound anxiety, insomnia, and what she herself described as a "troublesome brain fog," sought consultation with a physician specializing in postpartum mood disorders.

クランシー被告は深い不安不眠そして彼女自身が「厄介な脳の霧」と表現した症状に苛まれ産後気分障害を専門とする医師の診察を受けた

That specialist ultimately went so far as to prescribe her a regimen of multiple psychotropic medications.

その専門医は彼女に対し複数の向精神薬を処方するに至った

The defendant Clancy's family testified that she had expressed concerns about her deteriorating condition.

クランシー被告の家族は彼女が自身の容態悪化について懸念を表明していたと証言した

Her former mother-in-law, Susan Clancy, portrayed her as a nurturing and affectionate mother, stating that she "had been seeking help."

元義母のスーザン・クランシー氏は、彼女を養育的で愛情深い母親として描写し「助けを求めていた」と述べた

In early 2023, the defendant Clancy was admitted to a psychiatric hospital, yet her stay there proved to be short-lived.

2023年初頭クランシー被告は精神病院へ入院したもののその滞在は長くは続かなかった

Merely nineteen days after her discharge, she killed her children and disposed of their bodies in the basement of her home in southern Boston.

退院からわずか19日後彼女は子供たちを殺害しボストン南部にある自宅の地下室に遺体を遺棄した

Subsequently, the defendant attempted suicide by leaping from a second-floor window, and she now suffers from permanent paralysis below the waist.

その後被告は2階の窓から投身自殺を図り現在は腰部以下の麻痺が残存している

While acknowledging that the defendant, Clancy, suffered from a severe mental illness, the prosecution maintained that she possessed the capacity to comprehend her own actions and to exercise control over them.

検察はクランシー被告が重度の精神疾患を抱えていたことを認めつつも彼女が自身の行動を理解しそれを制御する能力を有していたと主張した

She stated that, prior to the killings, she had heard a male voice commanding her to murder the children; however, the prosecution underscored the fact that she had never disclosed this claim to any mental health professional.

彼女は殺害に先立ち男性の声が子供を殺すよう命じるのを聞いたと述べたが検察はその主張を精神医療提供者に一切開示しなかった点を強調した
