A jury was unable to reach a decision in a criminal case. The defendant, a woman from Massachusetts, is accused of killing her three young children. After deliberating for over six days, the jury reported being deadlocked twice before finally stating they could not agree on a verdict.

The defense had filed an emergency appeal, which was denied. This appeal had been granted a short time frame to be filed. The jury's inability to reach a decision led to a mistrial being declared.

Further details about the case and the events leading to the mistrial are available.
