The Trial: USA · The Trial of Lindsay Clancy - Your Questions Answered · 9 Sep 2026 podcast

She pleaded not guilty due to insanity, with her defense claiming that she was suffering from severe mental illness, including postpartum psychosis, and so she lacked the capacity to be held criminally responsible. matched

going to explain the legal process, the disputes in court, and importantly, what is next for Lindsay Clancy. matched

I'm your host, Caleb matched

and I'm crime correspondent. matched

Yeah, so obviously if you are from the UK or you're one of our international listeners and you've been listening to the trial UK, you might be familiar with a majority verdict sometimes being accepted by a judge. matched

So that can allow for a verdict on a jury that's, for example, ten two or ten one to go with the majority. matched

And that still only happens when a judge allows it in matched

They are struggling and they're deadlocked and there's still a majority verdict. matched

But here in the US, it doesn't work like that. matched

In a criminal case in Massachusetts and in the whole of the US, a jury has to reach a unanimous verdict. matched

So that jury, all twelve, it had to be in agreement on the same consensus, on the same outcome. matched

And you know, in this case we know that there was only one holdout juror, that it was eleven one, and that eleven were in agreement, but that just that one holdout meant the difference between a verdict and a mistrial. matched

Yeah, I mean you make such a good point there that normally we don't know what's going on behind closed doors and we only do because of the jury notes and because of what was argued in open court. matched

And that made it very clear on Friday, you know, according to the defense, that the eleven jurors were voting in favor of a verdict that would acquit Lindsay Clancy. matched

And Kevin Reddington was asked this today when he gave his first TV interview with Good Morning America. matched

So he was asked that, you know, directly. matched

So were the eleven? matched

not guilty by reason of insanity. matched

And he confirmed that was that was his understanding of it. matched

Which because I think it's important to note that it was possible for the jury to find her just not guilty. matched
