Cardano founder Hoskinson calls for death penalty as Clancy trial ends in mistrial

  • Charles Hoskinson called for Lindsay Clancy’s execution in a video unrelated to Cardano.
  • Seven deliberation days ended with jurors split 11 to 1 before a Sept. 4 mistrial.
  • Lindsay Clancy is scheduled to return to court on Sept. 29.

Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano (a blockchain platform), used a video recorded during jury deliberations in the Lindsay Clancy case to argue that the Massachusetts mother should be executed. Clancy, 36, admits strangling her three children at their Duxbury home in 2023, including an eight-month-old child, but her lawyers argued that postpartum psychosis (a severe illness after childbirth) made her not criminally responsible. After seven days of deliberations, jurors split 11 to 1 and Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial on Sept. 4. Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz has not said whether prosecutors will retry Clancy, who is due back in court on Sept. 29.
