Lindsay Clancy, a Massachusetts mother, was accused of strangling her three young children in Duxbury on January 24, 2023.
The trial ended in a mistrial after jurors deadlocked following seven days of deliberations.
Clancy acknowledged strangling her children but argued that postpartum psychosis meant she was not criminally responsible.
Prosecutors said the killings were intentional and, in some reporting, were described as planned.

A state court rejected a last-minute defense appeal to remove a disputed juror before Judge William F. Sullivan declared the mistrial.
One report said district attorney Tim Cruz will decide whether to retry the case, while another said a hearing on next steps was scheduled for September 29.
Clancy will remain in a psychiatric institution pending further proceedings, according to one report.
