周五主审林赛·克兰西谋杀案之法官因陪审团未能就该案达成一致裁决遂宣告审判无效

The case has precipitated a profound and acrimonious schism within American society, with public opinion deeply dividedindeed, irreconcilably soover whether this Massachusetts woman should bear criminal responsibility for the deaths of her three young children.

此案在美国国内引发深刻而尖锐的社会撕裂舆论对于这位马萨诸塞州妇女是否应就其三名年幼子女之死承担刑事责任莫衷一是歧见纷呈

The trial, which spanned several weeks, elicited profound public scrutiny, with the prevailing discourse gravitating toward the psychological well-being of mothers in the postpartum period.

The trial, which spanned several weeks, elicited profound public scrutiny, with the prevailing discourse gravitating toward the psychological well-being of mothers in the postpartum period.

Clancy, now 36 years of age and formerly employed within the domain of obstetric care, has remained unwaveringly forthcoming in her confession to the heinous act of filicide.

克兰西现年36岁曾供职于产科护理领域对于戕害亲子的罪行始终供认不讳

Nevertheless, her defense counsel adamantly contends that at the juncture in 2023 when she strangled her offspringthe youngest of whom was merely eight months oldand harbored intentions of self-annihilation, she was in the throes of a rare postpartum psychiatric affliction.

然而其辩护律师坚称在2023年勒毙子女其中幼者仅八个月大并意图自戕之际她正为一种罕见的产后精神障碍所困。

The prosecution, conversely, vigorously asserts that Clancy, at that time, possessed full cognitive faculty and discernment regarding the nature and ramifications of her own conduct.

检方则力陈克兰西彼时对自身行为的性质及其后果具有完全的认知与判断

The mistrial on Friday concluded only as deliberations entered their seventh day, leaving the case unresolved.

周五的无效审判审议进入第七日之际方告终结案件悬而未决

Ultimately, neither the bench nor the gallery appeared taken aback by the outcome.

最终法庭上下对此结果似乎均无意外之感

As the judge pronounced the proceedings a nullity, Clancy and her kin betrayed not the slightest flicker of emotion.

法官宣告审判无果而终之时,克兰西及其家人未显露任何情绪波动

Clancy remains charged with murder, and it is anticipated that he will continue to be detained within a psychiatric facility until the case reaches its definitive resolution.

克兰西仍被控以谋杀罪名预计在案件尘埃落定之前他将继续被羁押于精神病院内

Her counsel, Kevin Reddington, maintains with conviction that, had it not been for a divergence among the jury regarding adherence to the judge's directives, she would, in his estimation, have been acquitted.

她的律师凯文·雷丁顿坚称若非陪审团中某位成员在是否恪守法官指示的问题上产生分歧,他确信她本可获判无罪。

When pressed by reporters on Clancy's condition following the mistrial, Reddington conceded that she was "in a precarious state."

记者追问克兰西审判被宣告无效后近况时,雷丁顿坦言“状况堪忧”。

Under the watchful escort of state police, her parents and elder sister slipped out of the courthouse in silence, offering not a single word to the assembled press.

在州警察的严密护送之下其双亲与胞姐悄然步出法院未向在场记者吐露只言片语

Her former husband, Patrick Clancy, who was the first to testify in this case, has confessed in prior interviews that he has already forgiven her, firmly convinced that her actions were the product of mental illness.

其前夫帕特里克·克兰西作为本案首位出庭作证之人曾在既往访谈中坦言他已然宽恕了她并坚信其行径乃精神疾患所致

In a statement released by her attorneys on Friday, it was averred that "the prospect of reliving this tragedy through trial is profoundly heart-wrenching."

周五其律师所发布的声明中,“再度亲历此悲剧审判前景令人痛彻心扉。”

The prosecutor who resolved to indict Clancy has stated that he will not immediately adjudicate whether to recommence legal proceedings, underscoring that public sentiment is by no means a factor that shall sway this determination.

决定起诉克兰西的检察官表示,其不会即刻裁定是否重启诉讼程序强调公众舆论绝非左右此决策之因素

Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz solemnly declared: "This endeavor has, from its inception to its conclusion, been singularly devoted to securing justice for those three young children.

普利茅斯县地区检察官蒂莫西·克鲁兹郑重宣告:“此番努力自始至终皆旨在为那三名幼童伸张正义

This case pertains neither to the functioning of the healthcare system, nor to the treatment of women within that system, nor, indeed, to the nature of the diagnosis itself."

此案既非关乎医疗体系之运作亦非关乎女性在该体系中所受之待遇更非关乎诊断之本身。”

He observed that the two prosecuting attorneys "are themselves mothers," a remark that not only delineates their identities but also encapsulates a profound insight into the interweaving of their maternal and professional roles, thereby imbuing the statement with multifaceted connotations within the juridical context.

指出两位出庭检察官本身就是母亲”,此语不仅点明了她们的身份隐含着对其母职职业角色交织深刻洞察从而司法语境赋予了这一陈述多重意蕴

Friday's deliberations took a dramatic turn: the judge first announced that a mistrial was imminent, only to reverse course and permit Clancy's counsel to appeal to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.

周五的审议过程出现了戏剧性的转折法官先是宣告即将宣布审判无效旋即又改弦更张准许克兰西的律师马萨诸塞州最高法院提起上诉

However, that court declined to intercede and prevent the judge from declaring a mistrial.

然而该法院拒绝阻止法官宣告审判无效

Clancy's defence counsel contended that a member of the jury had evinced a latent bias against those afflicted with mental illness, yet they refrained from elaborating upon this assertion.

克兰西的辩护律师坚称陪审团中某位成员对罹患精神疾病者显露出潜在的偏见并未就此详加申论

They maintained that the juror ought, at the very least, to have been subjected to a more rigorous examination by the bench, or alternatively dismissed outright prior to the declaration of a mistrial.

他们主张该陪审员至少应受法官更为缜密的质询抑或在宣告审判无效之前径行予以罢免

The prosecution contended that Clancy deliberately strangled five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson, and eight-month-old Callan Clancy with elastic bands on January 24, 2023, asserting that she had meticulously orchestrated a scheme to lure her husband out of the house on errands for medication and food, thereby facilitating her murderous intent.

检方坚称克兰西于2023年1月24日蓄意以弹力带勒毙5岁的科拉3岁的道森8个月大的卡兰·克兰西并指其精心布局诱使丈夫离家取药购餐以遂其行凶之图

Clancy's defence counsel contended that, in light of her client's affliction with postpartum psychosisa rare psychiatric disorder inextricably linked to post-partum stress, sleep deprivation, and profound hormonal fluctuationsshe ought to be exonerated from criminal culpability.

克兰西的辩护律师主张鉴于其当事人罹患产后精神病——一种与分娩后应激睡眠剥夺激素水平剧烈波动密切相关罕见精神障碍——应被免除刑事责任

The jury has thrice declared itself unable to reach a unanimous verdict.

陪审团三度宣告无法达成一致裁决

On Thursday, the foreperson apprised the presiding judge that one juror had obstinately refused to heed the court's instructions concerning reasonable doubt.

周四陪审团团长向法官禀明其中一名陪审员顽固拒绝遵循法庭关于合理怀疑的指示

Outside the courthouse on Friday, Reddington launched a scathing diatribe against the jurors he perceived as obstructing the deliberative process.

周五在法院外雷丁顿被他视为阻挠裁决进程陪审团成员予以了措辞激烈的抨击

He remarked, "They (the jury) are acutely aware that, irrespective of the agenda this individual espouses, they have been divested by him alone of their entitlement to a fair trial; he has purloined seven weeks of the remaining jurors' timeindividuals who were, in their own right, so assiduous, so exemplary, so estimable."

他说:“他们(陪审团)深知无论此人秉持何种议程,他们已被他一人剥夺了公正审判的权利;他窃取了其余陪审员长达七周光阴,而那些人本是如此专注如此卓越如此可敬。”

At present, the precise contours of the jury's discord remain opaque, rendering it impossible to ascertain whether their deliberations incline toward conviction or acquittal.

目前尚不明了陪审团的分歧态势,亦无从判断倾向于定罪抑或宣判无罪

Should Clancy be adjudged guilty of murder, she may well face a sentence of life imprisonment; conversely, were she to be exonerated, the presiding judge would retain the prerogative to mandate her committal to a psychiatric facility.

倘若克朗西被裁定谋杀罪名成立面临终身监禁的刑罚然而,若获无罪开释法官有权颁令将其收治于精神卫生机构

The judge has decreed that the identities of the jury members must remain confidential for a period of no less than fourteen days, citing as justification the profound and widespread discord this case has provoked across all strata of society.

法官颁令陪审团成员之身份须恪守机密为期至少十四日其理由在于此案已激起社会各界广泛而深刻之分歧反响

Millions of Americans watched the live broadcast of the trial proceedings in real time, and even President Donald Trump publicly stated that he was closely monitoring the related coverage.

数百万美国民众实时观看了此案的庭审直播,就连总统唐纳德·特朗普公开表示密切关注相关报道

Speaking on Friday, Trump remarked, "This spectacle is truly appalling.

特朗普周五表示:“此情此景实属骇人

One must recognize that her conduct constitutes a transgression of such magnitude that it defies any conceivable augmentation.

须知她之所为堪称罪孽深重无以复加

Nevertheless, you shall ultimately come to comprehend the price she is destined to pay.

然则尔等终将明了其所应付之代价

The reckoning is inexorablewhether it be a psychiatric institution, a penitentiary, or some other form of retribution."

代价在所难免——或系精神病院,或系囹圄抑或其他惩戒。”

On most days, Clancy's female adherents graced the hearings adorned in hues of rose.

On the majority of days, Clancy's female adherents attended the hearings arrayed in roseate attire.

A considerable number recounted their own tribulations following childbirth or their acrimonious engagements with the medical establishment.

A considerable number recounted their own tribulations following childbirth or their acrimonious engagements with the medical establishment.

Come Friday, one among their ranksMarta Quijano, a surgeon of 55 yearsarticulated that the declaration of a mistrial evoked in her a profound sense of sorrow on behalf of the family and, most acutely, for Lindsey.

Come Friday, one among their ranksMarta Quijano, a surgeon of 55 yearsarticulated that the declaration of a mistrial evoked in her a profound sense of sorrow on behalf of the family and, most acutely, for Lindsey.

"She ought never to have endured such an ordeal anew.

绝不该再经历一次这般遭遇

This affair ought to have been concluded long since," Quijano articulated, her voice choked with sobs, "and it is profoundly inequitable.

此事本应早已了结,”基哈诺泣不成声,“这委实有失公允

It is my conviction that, as women, we are subjected to egregiously unjust treatment.

窃以为身为女性我们承受着极不公正的对待

We are rendered invisible, and our tribulations are dismissed with scant regard.

我们被视若无睹我们的苦楚被轻描淡写

Even that which transpired today amounts to naught more than a mere mortal having betrayed her."

纵使今日所发生之事亦不过是一介凡夫辜负了罢了。”

At the outset of the proceedings, the judge candidly acknowledged that the case had brought every individual involved to the brink of exhaustion, both emotionally and physically.

法官在审理初期便坦言此案对每一位涉事者而言无论在情感抑或体能层面,皆已濒临耗竭之极限。

The testimony, replete with harrowing accounts, ranged from the father's anguished 911 call upon discovering the remains to the grim particulars of how the children met their demise, each detail evoking profound sorrow and indignation.

诸多证词听来令人肝肠寸断自孩子们的父亲于发现尸骸之际所拨打的那通撕心裂肺的911求救电话,直至对其殒命方式的种种细节描述无不令人扼腕

Clancy was moved to tears on several occasions.

克兰西数度潸然泪下

As the post-mortem photographs of the child were presented in evidence, she could not contain a wrenching sob, compelling the judge to call a brief recess.

孩子的尸检照片呈堂展示之际不禁失声恸哭法官遂不得不宣布短暂休庭

Throughout the twenty-one days of trial testimony, the jury was afforded a comprehensive insight into the complete trajectory of how Clancy's psychological edifice crumbled and disintegrated utterly in the aftermath of Callan's birth.

绵延二十一日的庭审证词之中陪审团得以洞悉克兰西在卡兰呱呱坠地之后其精神世界如何分崩离析彻底瓦解的完整脉络

She was plunged into a state of profound anxiety, unable to find respite in sleep, and tormented by what she described as a disquieting cerebral fog, prompting her to seek the counsel of specialists in postpartum mood disorders, who in turn prescribed her a regimen of assorted psychotropic medications.

她陷入极度焦虑之中,夜不能寐,并饱受她口中所谓令人不安的脑雾之苦,遂求助于产后情绪障碍领域的专家,后者为她开具了多种精神科药物。

In their courtroom testimonies, Clancy's relatives candidly acknowledged that she had exhibited profound apprehension over the relentless deterioration of her health.

克兰西的亲属在法庭陈述中坦言对自己健康状况的持续恶化表现出深切的忧虑

Her former mother-in-law, Susan Clancy, conversely portrayed her as a devoted and assiduously nurturing mother, underscoring that she was "emitting distress signals."

其前婆婆苏珊·克兰西将她刻画为一位慈爱备至、悉心照料子女的母亲并强调她“正在发出求救信号”。

At the dawn of 2023, Clancy voluntarily presented herself at a psychiatric facility seeking treatment, yet her sojourn there proved so fleeting as to be virtually ephemeral.

2023年岁首克兰西自行步入精神病院求治其驻留之期极为短暂几乎可称昙花一现

Merely nineteen days following her discharge, she took the life of her child with her own hands, consigning the remains to the recesses of the basement beneath her residence in southern Boston.

出院仅十九日后便亲手夺走孩子的性命并将遗体遗弃于波士顿南部宅邸地下室深处

Thereupon, she hurled herself from a second-floor windowsill, and to this day remains wholly paralyzed from the waist down, bereft of any capacity for locomotion.

继而从二楼窗台纵身跃下至今腰部以下全然瘫痪行动能力荡然无存

The prosecution conceded that Clancy suffers from a severe psychiatric disorder, yet steadfastly maintained that she possesses the cognitive faculties requisite for comprehending and governing her own conduct.

检方承认克兰西罹患严重精神疾病坚称具备理解并掌控自身行为认知能力

They underscored that, notwithstanding her assertion of having heard a male voice commanding her to slay her children, she had never divulged this to any mental health practitioner prior to perpetrating the act.

他们着重指出尽管她声称曾听闻一个男性声音命令她杀害子女但在行凶之前,她从未向心理健康服务提供者透露过这一情况
