A judge declared a mistrial on Friday in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy.

The jurors could not agree on a decision.

The case brought a lot of national attention to the mental health of mothers after childbirth.

Clancy is a 36-year-old former nurse.

She helped women give birth.

She admitted to killing her three children in 2023.

Her lawyer said she had postpartum psychosis.

That is a rare mental illness.

Prosecutors said she knew what she was doing when she killed the children.

The children were aged 5, 3, and 8 months.

The mistrial came after seven days of jury talks.

Clancy's lawyer blamed one juror for stopping a decision.

He said that juror would not follow the judge's rules.

The prosecutor said there is no quick choice about a second trial.

He added that public opinion will not matter.

Clancy still faces murder charges.

She is expected to stay at a psychiatric hospital.

Her ex-husband, Patrick Clancy, said he forgives her.

He believes her actions came from mental illness.

His lawyer said another trial would be "extraordinarily painful."
