Clancy was on trial over the deaths of her three young children, with her defence arguing that she was not criminally responsible by reason of insanity. After deliberations, the jury was unable to reach the unanimous verdict required, resulting in a mistrial. Professor David Wilson and Martin Frizell examine the case, the arguments surrounding Clancy's mental state and the extraordinary circumstances that left the jury unable to agree. They also discuss the intense public attention surrounding the trial, how one dissenting juror can result in a mistrial and what could happen next in a case that has divided opinion across America.
