Lindsay Clancy will remain at Tewksbury Hospital, where she's been since 2023, after a jury failed to reach a unanimous decision about whether she was criminally responsible for killing her children.

"They're very very, nice people and they do a great job," her defense lawyer Kevin Reddington said of the hospital after Clancy's case was declared a mistrial on Friday, September 4, per CNN.

Lindsay Clancy confessed that she used exercise bands to kill her three young children in January 2023.

As OK! previously reported, Clancy confessed to strangling her three young children in January 2023. Following the violent acts, she attempted suicide by slitting her own throat and wrist and jumping from a second-story window, which left her wheelchair-bound.

The Massachusetts mother pleaded not guilty by lack of criminal responsibility – which is essentially an insanity defense – to first-degree murder charges, claiming she was experiencing a severe postpartum psychiatric episode at the time of the killings.

Clancy has been held at the 370-bed hospital since 2023. The medical facility, which sits 30 miles north of Boston, offers "comprehensive treatment, care and comfort to adults with medical and/or mental illnesses," according to its official website.

"She is extremely, extremely well-regarded and well-liked on that unit, by everyone," said clinical and forensic psychologist Dr. Paul Zeizal, who's met with Clancy about 60 times.
