A mistrial was declared in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy after 38 hours of deadlocked deliberations. The trial centered on a psychiatric defense of postpartum psychosis. This case bears some resemblance to a past trial in which a mother was charged with drowning her children.

The earlier case involved Andrea Yates, who was charged with the drowning deaths of her five children. Yates had called 911 to report the incident, stating she needed a police officer and an ambulance. Further details about these cases are available, including the circumstances surrounding the trials and the events that led to the charges being brought.
